I think I first learned this song from The Wolfe Tones when I first started learning Irish songs. It captured my imagination as it told the story of an Irishman who immigrates to Australia. The song was collected in Australia in the 1950s by H.P.C. ‘Duke' Tritton. This version is sung with an Irish pirate brogue for my CD, Going for Brogue.
