I went looking in the archives and found this song from around 1859. It must have been written contemporary to the Great Hunger; the famine cause by the British and suffered by millions of Irish:

There are three versions of the ballad in the Bodleian archives:

The tune is my own, as I don't think there are other recordings of this song.
The ballad that this song responds to could be as much as 20 years earlier, possibly before the start of the famine:
