I have aversion of this song as sung by Séamus MacMathúna on a Comhaltas Ceoltóirí recording CL35 titled, "The Guiness Seissiún". There are versions of it in the books "Ceolta Gael" and "Abair Amhrán". They both have the same two verses. Can any one offer background on this song, its author, any history around it, possibly any extra verses? I'll add the words I have later. Brían.
