Song Meaning.
"Boolavogue" is a traditional Irish ballad that commemorates the 1798 Irish Rebellion against British rule, focusing on the heroic actions of Father John Murphy of Boolavogue, a village in County Wexford. Written by Patrick Joseph McCall in the late 19th or early 20th century, the song is a stirring tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Irish rebels.

The song recounts how Father John Murphy, a Catholic priest, led his parishioners and local men from Wexford in a revolt against British oppression. They initially achieved some success against British forces before ultimately being defeated.
“At Boolavogue, as the sun was setting, / O'er the bright May meadows of Shelmalier...”
The opening lines set the scene for the uprising, rooted in the rural Irish landscape and community pride.

“And many a lassie mourned her lad / Who fled at the sound of the cannon’s roar.”
These lines reflect the human cost of the rebellion, emphasizing the pain and sorrow experienced by the community.
