A particularly intense version of And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda by The Clancy Brothers

The Clancy Brothers - And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

An Irish folk song based on letters from a father, Brian Hunt, to his son John who emigrated to America. The letters were found by the great grandsons of Brian, who then made them into a son

Women of Celtic Song-Kilkelly

This song has special meaning for me. I was alone with my father when he died. After getting off the phone with my brother, the only boy, and when I could finally get in my car and bring myself to leave, I turned on the radio and this was playing

Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Though I have a ton more, this has been a song that has resonated with me since I was a small child. Knowing this song before I heard the celebration song it was turned into in the US has always made it more poignant. It has also made me angry that a song that tells the horror of war could be changed to a celebration

The Irish Rovers- Johnny I hardly knew ye

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a version with the last verse:

They're rolling out the guns again hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again, hurroo, hurroo
They're rolling out the guns again,
but they'll not take my sons again
No they'll not take my son's again,
Johnny I'm swearing to ya.
