Hi, everybody. This is my first post in years. I used to be called robertc.
Do you know what "Eora" means? That song is about a war in 1798, but all I could find about "Eora" was some place in Australia.

I'd guess it's an anglicized Irish Gaelic word. Possibly referring to eora which, I understand, is sorta Gaelic for "Europe" (Eoraip).
I look forward to our Gaelic speakers correcting me on this.

Don't know the answer, but a vague attempt to find out led me to the wonderful Parting Glass website: http://poguetry.com/
Which I haven't been on for years. It didn't provide an answer in this case, but I'm glad to know it's still there.

Likes the warm feeling but is tired of all the dehydration.
