Il Duce has already posted a classic, and a personal favourite, Madame George , so I thought I`d offer a lesser-known story-song by Paul Brady :-

Yes, Julie Feeney's delivery of "aching" makes that song special, Lisnaholic.
Paul Brady's "Arthur McBride" tells an interesting tale of pummeling obnoxious soldiers. I'd never heard that anti-war song before. I like how Arthur tells the truth about joining the military. That is a refreshing moment of clarity.
Thanks for finding the song that ejp mentioned! Before I noticed you had done that already, I looked up the song for the very same reason. I found this version that has a little better sound quality, I feel, except it gets too loud in some spots:
Vandaveer - Spite (Froggy's Session)
I don't care for the music, but I love the lyrics!
