Printed inner sheets from the sheet music for Now what will become of poor old Ireland? or Charlie Parlie it was published in circa 1880 by Francis, Day &Hunter, London.
The song was sung by Charles Bignell and also J.W.Rowley, Charles Chaplin, Arthur Ring and the Author-Composer. The music arranged by George Le Brunn.
The inspiration for this song, which criticises Ireland's desire for Home Rule, appears to be a response to the campaigns of the Irish Political Leader, Charles Parnell. Charles Parnell (1846-1891) led the Irish Parliamentary Party as Member of Parliament (MP) through the period of Parliamentary nationalism in Ireland between 1875 and his death in 1891. Scandalous rumours about his long term affair with a married woman damaged his efforts to negotiate Home Rule for Ireland.
