Does anyone know the name of this song (old, old song)?

The lyrics I remember go:

The minstrel boy to the war has gone,

In the ranks of death you will find him.

His father's sword he hath girded on,

and his wild heart slung behind him.

Anyone know the name of the song? I'm fairly certain that is the first stanza, how the song opens. But I don't know any other lyrics.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Update:

It sounds like a song that would be placed in the same genre as "Oh Danny Boy."
