This version by Brady is played often in the SF Bay Folk Radio world. And heard of course at Christmas.
I think I first heard Bob Dylan's rendition which is practically a cover version of this.

The story itself ...( 2 weeks ago by Horslad)
The story itself aint sad at all, the guys beat up a recruiting officer and a camp drummer, and nothing happens to the narrator or mcbride! Brady sings it as if it were a truly sad story, which its not. Think Andy Irvine's version captures the spirit of the song better because of this, though cant deny Brady is an amazing musician and makes it look so easy!!!
