The Silly Sisters records are among my favorites, and I've long wondered about this song. I found this bit (scroll to bottom) about traveler singer Mary Delaney, whose recording (by our own Jim Carroll) may have been the source for SS.

What doesn't compute is the phrase "we'll yodel it over again", which seems very unusual usage for an Irish song. Any clues?
