For recordings, the absolute BEST, hands down (my opinion, of course) is that of John McCormack, though I have friends who perform it as an instrumental fiddle tune. I'd rather hear them do it, actually.I just listened to McCormack's recording (16 Mar 1911) and he sings it exactly as the sheet music except it sounds as though he is saying mine arms rather than my arms. Not much to quibble about, anyhow. It is available on John McCormack, My Wild Irish Rose, BMG Classical 09026-68668-2, 1997 and on John McCormack, Irish Song, Pearl/GEMM 9338, 1988.
