GUEST,guest tom Lyr Req: We're Only Here for Exploration (16) lyrreq Spirit of adventure 30 Dec 03

I'm trying to get the lyrics for this song I used to hear around the folk scene a few years back.It sounds as if it might have been written by Packie Manus Byrne. The tune is the same as The Banks of the Roses. The chorus is:

It's the spirit of adventure and the loving for to roam
that makes so many Irishmen to leave their native home
Some say it is for want of work that we are on the road
but we're only over here for exploration

Can anyone help?
