Attention Jim Dixon, do you have a tune for the "The Exile's Lament," the Irish/Australian song you give the lyrics for above?

I ask because the chorus is remarkably similar to the chorus of "The Shanghaied Dredger," a song written around 1890 to the tune of "The Irish Exile."

Chorus of Shanghaied Dredger:

"Then lay me in the forepeak with my face towards Baltimore
Praying I never get shanghaied again down on the Eastern shore
Where they feed you on corn dogs and sour bellies twice a day
And you're counted a lucky dredger if you ever get your pay"

Compare to the chorus of "The Exile's Lament""
"Lay me on the hillside with my face towards the West,
Towards that sacred island, the land that I love best.
Let a bunch of shamrocks green be planted o'er my grave.
My dying prayer is: May God bless the island of the brave!"

I'm wondering if this is the tune that was meant to be used.
