Watching the 1918 film Knocknagow, there are various songs sprinkled through, including The Airy Bachelor. I can find words but no performance of this. Did find this piece about the music used in the (silent) film.
Is there a recording anywhere?

See p.80 at the following link. Melody there (I think).

I've bookmarked the link you posted because it looks to be a very interesting essay. My thanks back to you. (I'll look for a performance, but hold not thy breath lest thou succumb to the vapours.)
