See my post of March 8, 2007. The album is called "David Hammond Sings Songs of Ireland" and was released on the American "Request" label (RLP-8061). The jacket says only, "An emigrant song referring to thbe slopes of Slieve Gallon in County Derry, overlooking the waters of Lough Neagh."

I thought the date was "1967," but it could have been a year or two later. The album is undated.

Hammond died recently. He was one of the best Irish singers around.
