This track represents the absolute peak of Irish folk music. All the ingredients are there: superb musicianship, brilliant ensemble playing and harmonising, not to mention Ireland's greatest ever singer, Christy Moore, showing his mastery of all the required phrasing, pacing and attitude. Planxty's best track.

No not from from everywhere, from England written by Harry Clifton an Englishman born in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire. So not from Mrs. Cronin in Cork. But hey, don't let facts get in the way, being Norwegian I tend to find the English don't tend to care about other folk stealing their innovations I think it's funny..

"On board of the Kangaroo" was written in 1856 by the early British Music Hall star, Harry Clifton (born in Hertfordshire, 1832). This version is via Stan Hugill, who had various sources in England but also including Seamus Ennis who recorded Elizabeth Cronin in Cork. It's the version that Hugill printed that is sung here. The "history" given by Christy in this video is a bit of banter, not to be taken seriously.

Chalk it down boy. Fair play to ya. We have thousands of songs from Cork City alone never mind the county (check out Jimmy Crowley)but this is definitely not one of them. I mean Milford Bay like haha nothing to do with Cork. But fair play to christy for putting legs on it. Great song though and its the interpretation that makes it. Christy is a master at that

It was evidently made up by the song's writer (British Music Hall star, Harry Clifton, born in Hertfordshire, 1832). There is a Milford Haven, but not a Milford Bay in Britain. The song is not set in Canada, so the Milford Bay in Canada would simply be a coincidence. There are a lot of Milford's in Britain and in North America.
