"Jackets Green"
Song by Michael Scanlan
Genre
Folk ballad
Songwriter(s)
Michael Scanlan
The song revolved around Donal, a soldier fighting under Patrick Sarsfield.
Jackets Green is an Irish ballad by Michael Scanlan (1833–1917) concerning an Irish woman and her beloved, an Irish soldier fighting in the Jacobite army of Patrick Sarsfield[1] during the Williamite War of the late 17th century.[2] Like some other "patriotic" Irish ballads, it includes romantic rather than historically accurate descriptions. This includes, at its core, the assertion that Sarsfield's men wore green uniforms, when the Irish Brigade, initiated by the Jacobite soldiers under Sarsfield's command, actually wore red uniforms.
