A version of this is sung in eastern Canada.

I know an alternative version of one of the verses above:

Batchelor's Hall is always the best
Be ye sick, drunk, or sober, you're always at rest
No wife for to scold you, no children to bawl
Oh happy's the man who keeps Batchelor's Hall
And it's O, O, laddie-o.

Always liked it, since I keep Batchelor's Hall myself.
