#: "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Alan Ross." The tune - assuming it's the one I'm thinking of - is fairly well-known among Scottish(style) fiddlers on the East Coast (of Canada), under both the Gaelic and English title. I've never heard English/Scots lyrics sung to it, so I don't think it caught on as a song in a significant way on the East Coast. And I think it would be a safe conjecture that the Sons of Fortune Bay did not make a fortune from their recording. (Tunes, btw, unlike legalities, do not respect international borders. A copyright claim is one thing, but to state that a tune does not 'belong to' a certain region or has 'nothing to do with' a nation in which it is played is meaningless.)
