I'm still wondering about this. Our fiddle orchestra plays the tune and I would like to find English (or Gaelic) lyrics.

Galway?
Athboy?
Ballyboy?
Banks of Ballaghbuoy?

Search engines draw a few references to obscure (to me) songbooks, but I'm hoping to find lyrics online.

If there's lyrics that are anywhere near as good as the tune, I want 'em!
