Hi,I believe the song you're looking for was recorded a couple of years ago now by Andy M. Stewart. The song is called "The Errant Apprentice". It's an absolute hoot!
I don't have the album in front of me and I can't recall the title. It's the one with him on the cover holding an acoustic guitar. There's a moon in the background.
If anyone buys this album also check out the last track, Land of the Leal. It's hauntingly beautiful.
