You can listen to it HERE
As you can see from my note, I was unable to find much information on it
It is obviously a post Famine song (latter half of the 19th century) so it is hardly one of the first sean-nos songs to be written in English, I would have thought
The term, sean-nos (old style) is misleading; I don't believe this particular song is particularly old style - that is usually applied to the highly ornamented songs in Irish
Thiis is one of many thousands laments made during the emigrations, most of which have a distinctive style of their own
