"CHANTEY IRISH" Volume
3, copyright 1987, 60 minutes.
These are the songs
to be found in the camps of the many Irish troops, and on
the docks of both navies. Forced to emigrate to foreign
lands by the potato famine in Ireland, thousands of young
Paddys arrived just in time to be handed a gun and marched
off to fight In the Civil War. During the long voyage to
"Amerikay", the rich store of sea chanteys became
pan
of their song-bag, and in turn, many a sailor's long watch
at the pumps went faster with "Rosin the Beau".
