In 1990, my Dad took part in a recording of an album with members of the Askamore (Co Wexford) Choir. On the album, Dad sang two solos. The first was If I can Help Somebody which I have published previously on this site. The second was a song called Fr O'Flynn, which was not really one of his party pieces (at least I don't recall him singing it much).
The song was written by Alfred Perceval Graves (1846 - 1931) who was an Anglo-Irish poet, songwriter and folklorist. He was the father of British poet and critic Robert Graves (Wikipedia).
Accompanied by Lar Duffy on piano, here is Dad when his voice was probably at its best:
