The Wild Colonial Boy - Mick Jagger 

NED WASNT IRISH he was born AUSTRALIAN .Ned loved being Australian .thats history .Yes Australia is proud of the Irish who contributed a great deal to Australias prosperity/

It's not about Ned. It's about Jack Duggan, the famed Wild Colonial Boy who was born in Castlemaine in Ireland and went to Australia.

This is the Australian version, not the Irish version.

@@GaraGambini There are two versions, the Irish version and the Australian version. The man the song is about is a cultural figure to both Ireland and Australia.

@@GaraGambini The Irish version's tune is derived from the tune to Galway Bay. The Australian version uses the surname Dolan instead of Doogan, the original surname of Jack was Donahue, likely based on the real life figure of Jack Donahue.

@@GaraGambini To what version of Galway Bay do you prescribe? And I said derived, not that it's the same tune. I never said they were the same tune. And they do sound similar, just not the same.

@@GaraGambini I'm Irish/Scottish/Welsh/American. Locale has nothing to do with it. Unless there is any point to this conversation then I suggest we end the conversation before things get heated.
