About the song:

The song is a whimsical look at the styles, attitudes and fashions of late nineteenth century London as seen from the point of view of an Irish labourer from a village near the Mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland.

It is written as if the singer is sending a message to his true love back home.

The "sweep down to the sea" refrain was inspired by the view of the mountains from Skerries in north County Dublin.
