not sure if anyone has put this song in, but surely it would be Un Australian to be touched by this song

My goodness, I guessed the song before I even clicked the link.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. (Spooky!)
 
As an aside, a stirring song that I (and many others) believe should be the Australian National anthem.

Time to stir some more emotions.

There are a number of excellent cover versions of this song. The Pogues do a particularly angry and aggressive version and Liam Clancy's brings a tear to the eye. Even Slim Dusty had a crack at it.

I think the best is the version by the man who wrote it, Eric Bogle.

It's a good karaoke song when travelling overseas. Brings tears to everyones eyes.
