Does anyone not see that this is in the viewpoint of the Irish? "Danny Boy" is a traditional Irish song from father to son. "I get knocked down but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down"--this is the Irish through and through. They keep fighting the British off. "Don't cry for me next door neighbor" is a satirical message to the British, who are the Irish neighbors, saying don't waste you're tears on me...oh wait, you never did because you keep trying to overrule us.
