That unnamed Minstrel Boy of Thomas Moore's.
Some others -- It's a showtune, but there's Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier -- even if it gets me to imagining Davy habitually going to a burlesque theater and being King of the Wild Front Tier. Other Zevon-ery: The Excitable Boy, that subversive Gorilla who's a Desperado.
