I thought this might suit you better, Pat.

By a lonely prison waal, ah heard a young lass caaling
"michael, the' hev tekn ye awa,
for ye stole trevelyan's corn,
see the young meet see the morn.
na a prison ship lees waitin in the ba."

laa lie the fields iv athenry
wheor once we watched the weeny free birds fly
oor love wes on the win,
we had dreams an' songs tae sing
it's see lonely roond the fields iv athenry.

by a lonely prison waal, ah heard a young gadgie caaling
"nothin matters, mary, when yas free
against the famine an' the croon,
ah rebelled, the' cut uz doon.
na ye must raise wor bairn wi' dignity."

by a lonely harboor waal, she watched the last star fall
as the prison ship sailed yeut against the sky
for she lived tae hope an' pra
fo' hor love in botany bay
it's see lonely roond the fields iv athenry.

It's from whoohoo.co.uk and they do Yorkshire, Scouse, Scottish, Brummie, Ali G, Cockney and Posh as well.
