DESCRIPTION:
The Irish baritone Harry Plunket Greene (1865-1936) sings the well-known "Garden Where the Praties Grow" by Johnny Patterson (circa 1869).

Here is a link to my playlist for Plunket Greene:

Plunket Greene was a pioneer (late 1890's) in establishing the song recital as we know it today. He was the first to perform Schumann's "Dichterliebe" in London (1895) and had a long musical partnership with the celebrated pianist Leonard Borwick, a student of Clara Schumann.

"Have you ever been in love boys, or did you ever feel the pain,
I'd rather be in gaol myself than be in love again.
Though the girl I loved was beautiful, I'd have you all to know
That I met her in the garden where the praties grow."
