Was going to mention it's in the Helen Creighton collection of Nova Scotia songs published in the 1930s, but that was mentioned in the old thread.

Yet another performer/group who has recorded it is Trapezoid, though I think they sang it too slow. I know of several different versions -- some mentioning a train, and some not.

All of its references, of course, are American -- how did it get to be so identified as "Irish"? (And recorded by Irish musicians.)

Anywho, I don't have Irish (Gaelic) words to it, and that's what the original request was for.
