Sweeney's Men released "The Waxies' Dargle" as a single in Ireland in 1968. It is set to the tune of "Brighton Camp", also used for "The Girl I Left Behind" and "The Rare Old Mountain Dew".

Andy Irvine says;

The Waxies' Dargle was a Dublin song with only a couple of verses but we augmented it with a chorus;

What are ya havin'? Will ya have a pint?
I'll have a pint with you sir.
And if one of youse doesn't order soon,
We'll be thrown out of the boozer.

It went to number two.
