It's sort of strange how we got from Loving Hannah to Davy Hammond and Irish songs, but there is a link between Loving Hannah and Irish singers. Mary Black recorded Loving Hannah on a 1983 album simply called "Mary Black" (the Dara label,). She got the song from Davy Brennan of Rathline, Co Longford, Ireland.

(and by the way, I was talking with Davy Hammond last month. He is a film producer and was at the Celtic Film Festival in Belfast, Co Antrim. And May weekend he was scheduled to introduce a concert with Packy Manus Byrne in Ardara, Co Donegal, but I wasn't there)
