SUIT OF GREEN, THE. Irish, Air (2/4 time). Ireland, County Carlow. E Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. O Boyle remarks that Denis Zimmerman, in his Irish Political Street Ballads and Rebel Songs (1967), has called this song a "broadside romance" in which the political element (inherent in the title) is less important than the sentimental one.

Oh! 'twas on a Sunday morning as my love and I sat in a room
Thinking it was no harm when the Army came up to the door;
And with their guns they broke the door soon as my darling boy they seen,
They tore him from my arms for the wearing of the Suit of Green.
