I have heard it sung many years ago here in ireland, but feel it may be of english origin. Any info. lyrics, recordings etc appreciated. This is how it starts; Old Martin says to his wan, fi man fi, Old Martin says to his one who's the fool now? Old Martin says to his wan(one) fill up a cup and I'll have some, Thou art a drunken fool who's the fool now. I saw the flea hurl the tree............ 45 miles out to sea thou art a ....... I saw the maid milk the bull......... Fill up a cup til it was full, thou art etc. Thanks for your interest, Happy singing!!
