For what it's worth, John McGettigan's 78 recording of this song can be heard via youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl94ZaCpK3Y, while that of Sara & Rita Keane (Dolores' aunts) can be heard via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD8dgm2tCjg.

McGettigan seems (to me) to sing "Farewell to Holly Hill" while the Keanes sing "Farewell to foggy hills" - a nice line even if inaccurate, used as the title of an LP by Gordon Tyrrall featuring the song, from which I first heard it (his version being based on the Keane's)... https://www.discogs.com/release/4865123-Gordon-Tyrrall-Farewell-To-Foggy-Hills
