Check out this for what seems to be proper words and attribution for the lyrics as a poem: Gather Round Me: The Best of Irish Popular Poetry More info here: The Sliabh na mBan Hillbillies And from Wikipedia's article on Galbally: "A well known folk song, "The Galbally Farmer", (with a tune also known as "Thank God we're surrounded by water"), tells of the trials suffered by a hired labourer working for the miserly farmer of the title, Darby O'Leary" The internet is a wonderful, dangerous toy, isn't it? :-D
