HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

A more modern form showed up in the 1850s called the sporting hero, or Whiskey in the Jar. The song spread back to Ireland at this time and was popularized by folk singers at the time. The song was written down by a collector of folk songs named Coln ó Lochlainn. He heard his mother singing the song. The dong first b...
