In our early years in Primary School, in the classes of junior and senior infants and 1st class singing was part of our education. Once or twice a week, our teacher would coach us through some of the traditional songs of the time. One that stands out in my memory is the Croppy Boy , the story of a young lad who had participated in the 1798 rebellion , and what happened to him when he decided to go to confession before going off to battle.
