Eric is a Scot who moved to Australia many decades ago. I played a folk festival with him in Germany in 1975. Most of his songs were about drinking, but this one, one of the best anti-war songs I have ever heard, made him a world-wide name for a while.

A few that have the same effect:
Gallipoli
The Dutchman
The Parting Glass.

Give me five, I'm still alive
Ain't no luck, I learned to duck
Check my pulse, it don't change
Stays seventy-two come shine or rain
