That's the one! Many thanks, Mo. The best version I can find, which includes the tune, is here.

The titles used for the song seems to be variously "Oh, How He Lied," "Never tell Lies," and "She Sat Neath the Lilacs" (which makes searching for it long-winded); and as far as I can gather from the thread you linked to, the song seems to have originated in the US, rather than Ireland, and to be early 20th century in origin - more recent than I had thought.

Anyway, many thanks again.

Dave
