Here's the lyrics from Shaun O'Nolan's 78 recording on Columbia, titled 'Yes You Did', that GUEST posted above, as best I could hear them. And here's the same link:

YES, YOU DID

Did you ever eat colcannon that was made with pickled cream,
With the greens and scallions blended like a picture in your dream?
Did you ever scoop a hole on top to hold the melting cake
Of the clabbered flavored butter that your mother used to make?

        Yes you did, so did you, so did he, so did I.
        The more I think about it, the nearer I’m to cry,
        But wasn’t them the happy days when troubles we knew not,
        When our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot.

Did you ever take potato cake or boxty to the school
Tucked underneath your oxter with your book and slate and rule?
When teacher wasn’t looking, a great big bite you’d take
Of that floury, mealy, juicy sweet potato cake.

        Yes you did, so did you, so did he, so did I.
        The more I think about it, the nearer I’m to cry,
        But wasn’t them the happy days when mothers used to make
        That floury, mealy, juicy sweet potato cake.

Did you ever go a courting when the evening sun went down,
And the moon just started peepin’ from behind the Hill of Down?
You wander down the boreen where the leprechaun is seen,
And you whistle soft and low for your little, sweet colleen.

        Yes you did, so did you, so did he, so did I.
        The more I think about it, the nearer I’m to cry,
        But wasn’t them the happy days when we did have our fling
        In holy, saintly Ireland where love is lord and king.
