Truthfully? I �d have to say not that version of the song... the words are too garbled and very hard to make out even for a native.

Here �s a better version for you:

Hello winky2! I also do love this song and when I listen to it I think there must be a little Irish blod somewhere in my veins!! I have a version in mp3 format which is quite clear. If you want me to, I can send it to your mail. So, send me a PM and let me know!
 
Hugs from Uruguay!!!

Use Metallica �s version... at least to compare. And teens will love it...
 
There is also a "live" version.

If you would like another version (or 8) of this please PM me. I have a reasonable folk collection in MP3 format - & this song is very popular amongst Australian folk musicians. Even �The Seekers � recorded it way back in the 60 �s...
(a more intelligible version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjonbKOB95s, but a more boring clip...)

Cheers,
AB
