Of the various "versions" of By the Hush/Paddy's Lamentation (the variations mentioned are very minor, as far as I can see), are there any that come from tradition other than O.J. Abbott's version collected by Edith Fowke in the Ottawa Valley in Canada?

(The DT cites Ian Robb & Margaret Christl's note on their recording (The Barley Grain for Me, Folk-Legacy CD-62) that it wasn't found in the U.S. in this form, although as Dicho says above it looks like it evolved from a "Paddy's Lamentation" published in New York in 1864.)

Was it found in Ireland other than in recordings made after that (possibly starting with Frank Harte's, and when was that)?

The Canadian version was published on a recording in 1961 (Irish & British Songs of the Ottawa Valley on Folkways FM 4051; the print publication is Fowke, Edith. Traditional Singers and Songs from Ontario, Folklore Associates, Hatboro PA, 1965.

When was the original recording of Abbott made?

I see that only the DT is cited in the Ballad Index; that particular publication of Edith Fowkes's has not yet been indexed there.
