Corrina learnt this from the singing of Naimh Parsons. An amazing song from the pen of Andy M. Stewart, based on a true story of two orphans in the First World War. The story goes that the two characters only found out their true heritage when they were tracked down by a government official, who was following the wishes of a family will which had bequeathed money to them both.
