"Arthur McBride" Is An Irish Folk Song. It Was First Collected Around 1840 In Limerick Ireland By Joyce Also In Donegal By Petrie. Several Versions Are Found In Scotland Suffolk And Devon - The Tunes Differing Slightly. The Song Can Be Narrowly Categorized As An "anti-Recruiting" Song And More Broadly As A Protest Song.
In The Song The Narrator And His Cousin Arthur McBride Both Irish Were Taking A Walk When They Were Approached By Three British Military Recruiters A Recruiting Sergeant A Corporal And A Drummer. The Recruiters Attempt To Induce The Narrator And Arthur McBride Into Military Service Extolling The Virtues Of Serving The King Of England Having Money To Spend And Wearing Nice Clothes. Arthur McBride Tells The Recruiter If They Joined The Clothes Would Merely Be Loaned To Them And That They Would Be Made To Go To War In France Where They Would Be Killed. The Recruiter Taking Offense To Arthur's Disrespect Of The King Becomes Angry At Arthur And The Narrator And Threatens To Use His Sword On Them. Then Arthur And The Narrator Use Their Shillelaghs To Hit The Recruiters And The Drummer Over Their Heads And After Doing So Take Their Pouch Of Money And Throw Their Swords And The Drummer's Drum Into The Ocean.
