It's actually about unrequited Love, in Kavanagh's case the unrequited love of Hilda Moriarty and the Irist state. he strived for the love of both and won neither
Billy Brash ,,,don't Brag about another mans poem ,until you have learn something about it ,,,,you don't disrespect a poet of the calibre of Kavannagh and get away with it lightly........
I guess This version is not my favorite. It sounds like a version one would hear around the campfire at an informal gathering, not a performance by a professional singer. A bit amateurish, perhaps he does other music better. Or perhaps I am spoiled by the professional singers in TH-cam. I suppose in a way it is ok, but I almost think nearly anyone could sing this better, even I could, and I cannot carry a tune. But it is nice that he is trying it.

Disaster. a right fuck up of this classic. I'd say Stephen Hawkins would have sung it better
almost infallible ...almost 😉
+John Gallagher :)
love you bill, and your description gave me Goosebumps, but this is bad, sorry 😂
Love Billy Bragg but this is dreadful,only person who can sing this properly is Luke Kelly.
Love Billy .... but after Luke Kelly sang it all bets are off ... Not the best Billy .
Know a song before you sing it.
Sound and "stone" ... not sound and "tone".
👍Also raglan. Not ragland
Disappointing
