Paddy's Lament/By the Hush

Traditional Irish-American ballad, "Paddy's Lament" (aka "By the Hush"), performed by Jesse Ferguson, on guitar. This song relates the hard fate of Irish immigrants who fled poverty and famine in Ireland only to land into the American Civil War.

I'm still working on that posthumous pardon for the Andersonville Raiders...if I manage to swing it, this song will be played at the ceremony to have them re-interred. You do beautiful justice for this song. Thanks for posting a newer version!

@Swiftyireland I think he's got the views as a result of a very professional approach to regularly posting these videos--along with his great voice, and facility with guitar and other instruments, mostly somewhat familiar and time-tested traditional material, lately varied with a few well-chosen songs--and hard work learning and arranging all of these. Oh, and he's pretty good-looking, too. And this song works especially well for him--I'm going to listen to this one several more times!
