The song is also available on one of the Bok, Muir, Trickett albums. Check the Folk Legacy site, I suspect they'd have it

While I appreciate the enthusiasm for someone who has just discovered this song, be warned that it's something like a cold you catch that won't go away, and you WILL be roundly sick of it eventually if endless repetitions are permitted.

There once was a lad who did an otherwise admirable Irish music show on a local college station who had a wee boy who LOVED this song. So Papa would play it for him everydamweek for something like two years, it seemed. That cured me of any residual enjoyment of the song and in iPod land, where you only have to listen to what you really like, it's one of the few songs I've deleted from the BMT section. What a wonderful thing that is to be able to do!

I also enjoy the irony that my favorite waltz partners, back in my dancing days, were a "bear" guy couple, who usually danced with each other.
