Thanks Peter - I think I've solved the problem - the author of the article, Sean Corcoran is taking singing workshops during next week

Thanks also Obseverver, but I'm looking for an Irish version - they seem as rare as rocking-horse crap
I have two fragments of it from two different elderly singers - if I can find anything resembling an Irish text I may use one of our tunes and ask a singer friend to record it so we can acknowledge it was once in the Irish repertoire even if it no longer exists
I think there may be an Irish/Canadian text somewhere on the shelves
