I have been looking for "Killaloe" forever! Like, since I was seven, which is indeed forever. I was very excited to find any version, but none of them is the same as the one I learned, taught to the audience by the Iniskillings at one of those pipes-and-drums with dancers shows, many years ago.

The version in the program went something like "Sure an' I was born about the time..." There was much more dialect written in, and one spot went, "Now, I've but one father, that I'll swear! And when he said I had a pere..." etc.

Still, I am very pleased to find this. Thank you all.
