Greetings!

guys im looking for info on a tune i found on a frank harte album (1798-the first year of liberty)
its the first song called 'Henry Joy' and begins with the lyrics 'i am a proud united man, from the antrim glens i come' (i say this as there is another song called henry joy mccracken on the same album)

anyways im just looking for any info on the origin of the song, maybe one of you have the booklet that came with the album and could have a look? i havnt been able to find much online about it, usually Mudcat is my go to when i need info and there dosnt seem to be any discussion about the song on here either!

thanks in advance!
Peace
