My personal favorite is "young America and Ould Ireland off the second album. As one who's forefathers had to leave County Armagh for running with the Republicans, that line "Sure it's friends we have here when we need 'em, Who when starving sent bread for to feed em, And they'll help us to fight for our freedom, in America's Irish Brigade" holds particular significance...well, I think you get the point. It was particularly important to me to be in a "green flag" regiment when I got into reenacting, and I can't even begin to convey the feeling I get when I see the Harp of Erin snapping in the breeze.

I'm so glad you're enjoying them! I sent Dave a note with the link.
Yep, good stuff.
