I see you are under some time constraints, but as I understand it Barnes and Noble will sell you a copy of Bill Meek's Moon Penny, which is filled with Irish children's songs, for $5.97 plus shipping. One I learned from that book is "Sir Roger is Dead." I suppose it's about death, but more in the spirit of an apparition, and quite cheerful. It's a variant of "Oliver Cromwell is Dead," but has no reference to Cromwell or any other English miscreant.
