10 Feb 03 - 04:54 PM (#887052) Subject: RE: Need Info: song from 'gangs of new york' From: Peter Kasin "Paddy's Lamentation." A beautiful song about an Irishman fighting in the U.S. Civil War. I saw the movie but can't recall who sings it in the soundtrack. I'm sure other 'catters can fill you in on that. Maura O'Connell, who also has a cameo? Mary Black sang this with the Irish band De Dannan - a really fine version. |

Anyone have any idea what the name of this song is? |

01 Aug 11 - 07:27 AM (#3199578) Subject: RE: Need Info: song from 'gangs of new york' From: Ross Campbell The OP requested "Paddy's Lamentation":- Paddy's Lamentation - Mary Black (YouTube) That and all other revival versions (Silly Wizzard,etc) are derived from Edith Fowke's recording of O.J.Abbott's "By the Hush, me Boys". He learned the song in early life on Ontario farms. The following link has short clips of all tracks from the album "Irish and British Songs from the Ottawa Valley", O.J. Abbott FW04051. Scroll down for "By the Hush". Smithsonian Folkways - By the Hush, Me Boys - O.J. Abbott The other request later in the thread appears to refer to "An Unconstant Lover" by Maura O'Connell:- Unconstant Lover - Maura O'Connell (YouTube) Ross |
