Dear Old Ireland (also known as "Ireland Boys Hurrah!") is an Irish folk song of the nineteenth century. Its lyrics were written by nationalist politician and journalist Timothy Daniel Sullivan,〔The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Poetry, p. 7〕 who also wrote "God Save Ireland". First published in 1861 in Sullivan's collection ''Songs of the Backwoods'', its nostalgic lyrics are about Irish emigrants living in Canada. This was an imagined setting, however, as Sullivan himself never lived in Canada,〔The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Poetry, p. 7〕 he did travel in North America fundraising for Irish nationalist causes. The tune accompanying it is a lively one in major chords, and this could easily be a drinking song.〔Ireland: A Reference Guide from the Renaissance to the Present By John P. McCarthy, p. 449〕 In a famous incident during the American Civil War, soldiers from both sides of the conflict joined together to sing the song from opposite banks of the Rapohannock River in Virginia.〔Ireland: A Reference Guide from the Renaissance to the Present By John P. McCarthy, p. 550〕〔http://forum.morristownonline.com/discussion/94018/frank-mccourt-angelas-ashes-writes-a-lovely-irish-playrevue〕 ==References==
