I'll go find it on MP3.com, give it a listen, and post it. I don't think it's anything too hard to hear for a native speaker.

Okay, I'm back. Here is a Link to their MP3.com page which has some info on them. I actually enjoy this band and this song a lot which is surprising because I'm usually a stricter traditionalist than that.

Here are the song lyrics transcribed:

MILK KILKENNY
CD: WhirlyGig Label: Ezmusic Dublin
Credits: Words by Liam Donohoe arr Whirlygig

Come down to the river, come down to the glen
I quiver as I wait to see you again
I'm not a boy now, but I still set like it was yesterday

You're dancing a polka, you leap like a fish
Strident, not graceful, a whirling dervish
That only made me want you more

Chorus:
We had no need of Adonis
We don't feed this greed, it's just on us
The Good Lord smiles upon us
Milk Kilkenny is in my soul

'Round about the bower we'd stroll
Secrets were stolen, desires were told,
Everybody knows that's why life is worth living

The sun blew a fuse, the melting began
We smoked and talked, we walked and ran
The night flies never even began to bother us

Chorus

Sorry, the third line of the first verse should read "... I still see it like it was ..."
