Thanks again, Leo!

 

'Paddy's Lamentation' is an interesting song. It was also known as 'Bye the Hush my boys' and was first noted down (as far as I can tell) by Edith Fowke from the singing of O J Abbott in Ontario. He, in turn, learned it from a Mrs O'Mally in the 1880s. Strangely, for a Civil War song it has never been collected in the USA. O J Abbott had a splendid range of songs, including that ace of broken token songs 'The Plains of Waterloo' (again he appears to be the 'primary source' of this song, though he is rarely credited) Great singer though, if you can track down his recordings.
