Song

Is there a version of this song available online? The Jade Knight 23:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can the current version be changed? The fiddle version here doesn't follow any melody version I know (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5-LevCAjRQv) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigAlDrazi (talk • contribs) 19:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

not a song: a poem

I'd suggest to move this article to The Wind That Shakes the Barley (poem): Apart from two lines about different cover versions at its very end, this article is entirely about the original poem. --Ibn Battuta (talk) 15:25, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this is a poem before it is a song. Maikel (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

textual change

I have replaced the strange "full man" with the intelligible "foeman's". This is is warranted by several sources, including The Anglo-Irish War, 1916-1921: a People's War by William H. Kautt (Westport, Connecticut: Praeger, 1999). I have NOT checked anything less prominent against that text. The also plausible "yeoman's" seems to have less wide support. If anyone has a good explanation for the common appearance "full man"--other than simple mishearing by someone who didn't know the word "foeman"--it would make a useful addition to the text.

When

When was the poem written? Maikel (talk) 15:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barley marking mass graves

It's very poetic but I would like to see some reference for this story about barley being carried by the rebels as provisions in their pockets, and later marking the mass graves they had been dumped into.
For one, you can't grow a plant out of oats, only the integral grain. Then I doubt that barley could grow out of even a shallow grave. Maikel (talk) 15:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is nonsense. Barley was a common crop in Ireland for centuries, so there's nothing unusual about barley growing wild. Further, no one would have been carrying around a pocketful of barley corns. Barley needs to be ground, or at least cracked, and cooked or baked in order to be eaten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.127.180.83 (talk) 07:14, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well duh, no-one suggests the rebels ate raw barley, they had camps wherever they stopped and would you believe it, they cooked food at them. --Ponox (talk) 22:38, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Title

Is there any explanation around for the unusual notation of the title with "That" written with a capital "T" but the not the "the"?--Nico b. (talk) 16:07, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
