JTT, you also didn't see my advice to follow Declan's link to an older thread, which has 20 messages to date. Look there at Julie's message of 14 May 99 for advice on how to reconstruct the desired set of lyrics as sung by Mícheál Ó Domhnaill (was a member of the Bothy Band)using the two sets of lyrics given on the thread. You probably have enough Irish to be able to do that with the recording to hand. Please continue discussion on the earlier thread - see Declan's blue clickable link above
