Rich_and_Dee Irish/USA songs before USA Civil War (54* d) Irish/USA songs before USA Civil War 14 Jan 03

Hi,

There are many references to songs composed and/or popularized during the American Civil War (1861-1865) by Irish immigrants.

Does anyone have examples of songs that may have been well-known to Irish immigrants to the northeastern US just before the start of the Civil War?

To humanize it, in a Boston Irish pub in 1859, if someone called on a singer to sing that old song they grew up with at Cork or Cavan, or wherever, what might that song have been?

Thanks
