Coming from an irish-american you are exactly right I have spent the last 30 years learning about my family's history from Munster and Derry Ireland 🇮🇪🍀
This song breaks my heart but I love hearing it because it is about a people who have had to suffer unbearably to be free and dignified..Eire go bragh 💚☘️🇮🇪
I cannot listen to this song without crying or tearing up. Sad and beautiful song about land, countries, death, war, warning, regret, loss of young life, sacrifice and abuse of power from USA
They had done it all before a generation earlier, press-ganging newly-arrived immigrants into the Yankee imperialist army to go and steal half of Mexico. (see the Saint Patrick's Battalion).
This song gives me a tear many Irish left their homeland in Ireland because of tyranny then they came to America where they were harassed more and throw into a cause they had no say in
Well it's by the hush, me boys, and sure that's to hold your noise And listen to poor Paddy's sad narration I was by hunger pressed, and in poverty distressed So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be going There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin Well I sold me horse and cow, my little pigs and sow My little plot of land I soon did part with And me sweetheart Bid McGee, I'm afraid I'll never see For I left her there that morning broken-hearted Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be going There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin Well meself and a hundred more, to America sailed o'er Our fortunes to be made we were thinkin' When we got to Yankee land, they shoved a gun into our hands Saying "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln" General Meagher was he said, if you get shot or lose your head Every murdered soul of youse will get a pension Well meself I lost me leg, they gave me a wooden peg, And by God this is the truth to you I mention Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be going There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

@@robertplant1760 fuckin' amen! I'm a 3rd Gen Irish in the US.

One of the saddest experiences that the Irish who arrived in the United States in the middle of the civil war had to live was being recruited on both sides and having to fight brothers against brothers for a cause they did not know
She's actually playing with the mighty Irish group DeDanann, not The Chieftains. Great version by the way, probably the definitive version of this song. Thanks for sharing this

Oddly "Paddy's Lamentation" is not a song composed in Ireland. It was collected in the Ottawa Valley, suggesting the author(s) were either American or Canadian by citizenship. The number of newly arrived and first generation Irish who fought for the "Stars and Bars" or "Stars and Stripes" was vastly disproportionate to their numbers in the Belligerent Nation's population. My Great Great Great Grandfather took a mini-ball in the leg at Gettysburg. His leg was stiff for the rest of his life, thus making most unskilled labor impossible. He got no pension for his service to PA, 116th Artillery, at the time part of the Irish Brigade. What he received was a short life of grinding poverty. Small wonder the Irish fought conscription in NYC until troops still stationed near Gettysburg were sent to quell the insurrection.
Sorry, Linda Thompson sings "Paddy's Lamentation" (with few verses excised) in the "The Gangs of New York" Don't feel badly. Martin Scorsese confabulated the "Dead Rabbits Riot of 1857 with NYC Draft riot of of 1863.
The so-called "Draft Riot" in NYC was in reality a racial pogrom against the Black population of that city. Mobs even attacked black orphanages. It was stirred up by CSA agents w/ talk of blacks from the South coming "to take your jobs if you don't fight" The "riot" was probably long planned & was meant to correspond w/ both the Morgan Raid & the Gettysburg campaign. They couldn't be coordinated b/c the NVA was soundly defeated in Penn. I guess the Confederates & Dem. Party leaders simply went along w/ it anyway.
There were horrendous attacks on Blacks individually and on institutions aiding Blacks, including orphanages, as Victor points out. Protestant Churches were also burned. The Irish underclass of NYC lashed out against anyone and everyone whom they felt had oppressed them. Why should the Irish fight for a country where anything but the most dangerous labour was denied them, the Irish mob reasoned. Skirmishes with Blacks over work were common. Victor, if you have a source for Confederate and Democratic Party collusion in planning the riots, I would like to read it.
Katherine-Anne McCloskey-Ross It is well known that Confederate agents were active in New York. I could find a TH-cam video of the historian @ the Gettysburg history conference where the professor posited a theory that the "Draft Riot" was originally to be coordinated w/ a successful Gettysburg campaign. The troops of Morgan in Southern Ohio were to join up w/ Gen. Lee assist the rioters. NYC had been dominated by Dem. politicians b/4 Lincoln. The Dem. Party was created by the wealthy plantation slave holding class. They used the promise of gov't jobs to lure the Irish into signing up w/ the Dem. Party. Many long established connections b/t the slave owning secessionists & Dems in NYC.
That set the stage for the bloody and brutal violence of July 14-17, 1863. "The draft riots, as they are called, were supposed by some to be the result of a deep-laid conspiracy on the part of those opposed to the war, and that the successful issue of Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania was to be the signal for open action. Whether this be so or not, it is evident that the outbreak in New York City on the 13th of July, not only from the manner of its commencement, the absence of proper organization, and almost total absence of leadership, was not the result of a general well-understood plot. It would seem from the facts that those who started the movement had no idea at the outset of proceeding to the length they did. They simply desired to break up the draft in some of the upper districts of the city, and destroy the registers in which certain names were enrolled," wrote Joel Tyler Headley in The Great Riots of New York City.5.
Y así fue como el pobre Paddy, hambriento y desesperado abandonó su querida Irlanda camino de de una prometedora América, abandonando a su amor, a pesar de sus ruegos... Y en vez de encontrar la prosperidad esperada sólo encontró guerra y dolor... Una guerra que no era la suya pero que tuvo que luchar, por Lincoln, por el Norte y perdió una pierna y sólo encontró dolor y cañones rugiendo.... Paddy sólo quiere volver a casa, Paddy sólo quiere volver a su querido Dublín...
Paddy's Lamentation Lyrics And Chords Trad. This one dates back to the 1870s and was popular in Canada before it made it's way to Ireland , it was recorded by Mary Black among others. Oh, it's (Dm)by the hush, me boys, I'm sure (C)that's to hold your noise, And (D)listen to poor Paddy's nar(G)ra(A)tion. I (D)was by hunger pressed and in (C)poverty distressed, So I (Dm)took a thought I'd (Am)leave the Irish na(D)tion. Chorus: (D)Here's you, (D)boys, (F)do take my advice (A)To A(D)mericay I'd (D)have you not be (G)com(A)ing. There is (D)nothing here but war where the (C)murdering cannons roar, And I (Dm)wish I was at (A)home in dear old (A7)Er(D)eein. Then I sold by horse and plow, me little pigs and cow, And me little farm of land and I parted, And me sweetheart Biddy Magee I'm afeared I'll never see, For I left her that morning broken-hearted. Then meself and a hundred more to Americay sailed o'er, Our fortune to be making we were thinking. When we landed in Yankee land, shoved a gun into our hand, Saying, 'Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln.' General Mahar to us said,'If you get shot or lose your head, Every murdered soul of you will get a pension.' In the war I lost me leg, all I've now is a wooden peg; By my soul it is the truth to you I mention. Now I think meself in luck to be fed upon Indian buck In old Ireland, the country I delight in, And with the devil I do say, 'Curse Americay,' For I'm sure I've got enough of their hard fighting.
Ships are sailing is the name of the reel but I also havnt been able to find another version of it with Paddy's lament on Spotify I can only find them on TH-cam. The version of the reel at the end of this song is the best I've heard of many versions and i wish i could find the same version as this one as just a single reel
"theres nothing here but war,where the murderous cannons roar." sounds familiar huh. weve been in a perpetual state of war for the last 100 years... when will this madness end?
only the dead will see the end of wars. And, in fact, the pax americana of the last 70 years was nothing short of miracle, as you are going to recognize in the coming ten years or so
3:23 to end is just amazing I agree David Smith make me wish I was alive when u had to manually load a rifle , and square up with a foe just like all brothers in history

hey I even at 34 debate joining up to serve. As that's all we've done as Irish to this country. It's in our blood.
Well it's by the hush, me boys, and sure that's to hold your noise
And listen to poor Paddy's sad narration
I was by hunger pressed, and in poverty distressed
So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation
Here's to you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have ye's not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin
Well I sold me horse and cow, my little pigs and sow
My little plot of land I soon did part with
And me sweetheart Bid McGee, I'm afraid I'll never see
For I left her there that morning broken-hearted
Here's to you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have ye's not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin
Well meself and a hundred more, to America sailed o'er
Our fortunes to be made we were thinkin'
When we got to Yankee land, they shoved a gun into our hands
Saying "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln"
General Meagher was he said, if you get shot or lose your head
Every murdered soul of youse will get a pension
Well meself I lost me leg, they gave me a wooden peg,
And by God this is the truth to you I mention
Here's to you boys, now take my advice
To America I'll have ye's not be going
There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar
And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Paddy's Lamentation Lyrics And Chords
Trad. This one dates back to the 1870s and was popular in Canada before it made it's way to Ireland , it was recorded by Mary Black among others.
Oh, it's (Dm)by the hush, me boys,
I'm sure (C)that's to hold your noise,
And (D)listen to poor Paddy's nar(G)ra(A)tion.
I (D)was by hunger pressed and in (C)poverty distressed,
So I (Dm)took a thought I'd (Am)leave the Irish na(D)tion.
Chorus:
(D)Here's you, (D)boys, (F)do take my advice
(A)To A(D)mericay I'd (D)have you not be (G)com(A)ing.
There is (D)nothing here but war
where the (C)murdering cannons roar,
And I (Dm)wish I was at (A)home in dear old (A7)Er(D)eein.
Then I sold by horse and plow, me little pigs and cow,
And me little farm of land and I parted,
And me sweetheart Biddy Magee I'm afeared I'll never see,
For I left her that morning broken-hearted.
Then meself and a hundred more to Americay sailed o'er,
Our fortune to be making we were thinking.
When we landed in Yankee land, shoved a gun into our hand,
Saying, 'Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln.'
General Mahar to us said,'If you get shot or lose your head,
Every murdered soul of you will get a pension.'
In the war I lost me leg, all I've now is a wooden peg;
By my soul it is the truth to you I mention.
Now I think meself in luck to be fed upon Indian buck
In old Ireland, the country I delight in,
And with the devil I do say, 'Curse Americay,'
For I'm sure I've got enough of their hard fighting.
Such a tremendously sad and moving story.....his legacy shall live forever A thaisce.....
@@RedKatieAnne Thank you for this! It has one more verse (the last) than the version I heard on the CD.
@@aurolyn2 My mentor. Frank Harte sang it often. He would be happy that the words found their way to a new singer.

Is there a name for the reel played at the end? Can't find a version on spotify that includes it.
Ships are sailing is the name of the reel but I also havnt been able to find another version of it with Paddy's lament on Spotify I can only find them on TH-cam. The version of the reel at the end of this song is the best I've heard of many versions and i wish i could find the same version as this one as just a single reel
Perhaps you can search under The Chieftains “Ships are Sailing”

"theres nothing here but war,where the murderous cannons roar." sounds familiar huh. weve been in a perpetual state of war for the last 100 years... when will this madness end?
only the dead will see the end of wars. And, in fact, the pax americana of the last 70 years was nothing short of miracle, as you are going to recognize in the coming ten years or so
You know, peace is difficult to achieve when the US have one of the biggest weapon industry in the world
Murderin', not murderous. Nitpicking, I know.
It ends when we go extinct 🙂
@Eric Bowman The rich are made richer by war, this is not a new concept at all.
3:23 to end is just amazing I agree David Smith make me wish I was alive when u had to manually load a rifle , and square up with a foe just like all brothers in history

would Ireland accept a white American?
If one of your grandparents is an Irish citizen who was born in Ireland, but neither of your parents was born in Ireland, you may become an Irish citizen.
Just don’t go if you’re black
SethH1982 what about great grand parent?
