Lighter	Lyr Add: Seven Irish Men (11)	RE: Lyr Add: interp of 'seven Irishmen'	15 Oct 18
Dick Cameron, on his Folkways album of "Irish Songs and Ballads" (1961), utilizes the tune of "Dear Old Donegal" (see that current thread) for a more concise and somewhat different version of the song he calls "The Seven Irish Boys." Joe Heaney sings the version he learned from his father - the only other original version I can find - here: https://www.joeheaney.org/en/seven-irishmen-the/ Heaney's tune is unrelated to "Dear Old Donegal." Where Cameron got his own text and tune, I don't know. The group Aengus recorded the song to a third tune in 1978: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC4Pdg1A24c
