I just heard a great version of Paddy Du, by a group called "Longbottom" who are playing in Winnipeg, CANADA. I would like to find the lyrics to the song. The chorous goes:

I could have been a wealthy man I might have been a sailor But I'm doing life in Rupertsland and The Company is my jailer.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Here's Google's cache of http://longbottom.iuma.com/, which indicates it has an mp3 of PADDY DHU, performed by Longbottom, but the web site was down when I tried to go there. Maybe later?

(Note that I have revived a very old thread.)

This page says you can download Longbottom's PADDY DHU, but you need to download a program first. I'm not sure this is safe, so I won't do it myself.

Amazon says the song was on a CD by a musician named Ted Longbottom, but the CD is no longer available.
Anybody have the song?

Could it be a derivative of "Johnny Dhu"??

I tried to reach him via Myspace; however, he's not answered and I don't expect he will (was over a month ago). He seems not to go to his site there. As Joe mentioned, Ted Longbotton is a person, not a band, although he may have a band with him.
