and\u00a0comes from the pen of prolific music-hall composer and performer Harry Clifton (1824-1872).<\/p>\n<p>It was taken up and popularised by the Irish singer and circus owner Johnny Patterson.\u00a0 Patterson&#8217;s\u00a0 last performance of this song was in Tralee in 1889, when it is reported that he sang it holding a red flag bearing a crown\u00a0 in\u00a0one hand and\u00a0 a green\u00a0flag bedecked with\u00a0\u00a0a harp in the other, and mingled them together as he sang.\u00a0 Apparently he had hoped thereby\u00a0 to encourage\u00a0Protestants and Catholics to live together peaceably &#8211; but some of the audience objected violently and a melee ensued during which\u00a0 he was hit over the head with an iron bar and kicked:\u00a0 he died from his injuries four days later.<\/p>\n<p>The song was among the many\u00a0 penny song\u00a0sheets\u00a0 which\u00a0 were sold by the printer Sanderson of Edinburgh and which were bought by people in Whalsay where\u00a0 its nautical symbolism would have made it doubly attractive to men like Willie.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Roud lists numerous\u00a0 sources, many of them from the USA and Canada as well as Scotland (Roud index no. 1958).<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>In this world I&#8217;ve gained my knowledge,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> And for it I&#8217;ve had to pay.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Though I haven\u2019t been to
