Appropriate to reprint full lyrics?

edit

There are three different sets of lyrics reprinted in full in this article. Is this permitted use of what I assume is copyrighted material? 98.226.121.102 (talk) 03:16, 12 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

none - per WP:NOTLYRICS. The Dissident Aggressor 22:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

History

edit

The entire history section appears to be someone's opinion. Need some serious reliable sources there to back all that mess up. The Dissident Aggressor 22:13, 2 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Just because it was recorded by someone doesn't mean it should be in the article per WP:SONGCOVER. Toddst1 (talk) 05:06, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply


Based on a real ship?

edit

There are a few websites on the internet that claim that the song is based on a real ship "The Irish Rover". Is there any way to verify if this is the case or not? Either way, I think it should mentioned in the article. I am asking because the journey is also mentioned in 1806 but if this is entirely fiticious, it should be removed there. --Proofreader (talk) 09:14, 12 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
