Now about the TUNE of "Paddy's Lamentation":
1. "Lament of the Irish Emigrant" ("I'm sitting by the stile...") is an entirely different tune.
2. "Happy Land of Canaan" (used for "Jordan is a Hard Road to Travel") is also an entirely different tune.
3. The Bodleian broadside (circa 1860-1899) lists "Happy Land of Erin" as the tune. But I've not seen any other reference to "Happy Land of Erin."
4. Bruce Kincaid relates "Paddy's lamentation" to "The Sons of Erin's Isle," which shares the same rhyme scheme and inferentially the same tune. However, I've seen no information on that song's tune.
5. The tune of "Paddy's Lamentation" is apparently derived from "Over the Water to Charlie," a tune published in England in the 1740s.
6. "Over the Water to Charlie" is on the soundtrack of Ken Burns' 2025 "The Revolution."
