What song is John Patterson singing anyway?
An Irish drinking song???
Never heard the Clancy Brothers sing that one, but somehow I can “hear” the tune..Good Brogue, Lynn!
Interesting… I own all the anthologies, but don’t remember this one.
I found this by searching for the first line of lyrics:The Garden Where the Praties Growhttp://bettylou.zzruss.com/thegardenwherethepratiesgrow.htm

John McCormack sings the traditional Irish song “The Garden Where The Praties Grow” in this 1930 recording.
In the description of this YouTube video of the song it states that the song was written by Johnny Patterson in 1869.
Lynn’s Notes:This was one of my dad’s favourite songs. He’d sing it when he was in an excellent mood and when he was in the shower. I’ve always liked the tune and have always wondered… what the heck are “praties?”

At Dailyspud.com:the word pratie is an anglicisation of the Irish word for potatoes, prátaí, pronounced PRAW-tee
Info found elsewhere:
Potatoes were the staple crop of Ireland before the potato famine struck.
Boiled or cooked potato in their skins; often dipped into milk and salted.
Love this research group, and the web!
So what’s yer favorite shower song? Mine is “There is a tavern in the town” mainly because I remember all the words.
One time my father sung, the cat went to check what was wrong with him.
