And it's published in "Music and Song from The Boys of the Lough". Edinburgh: Gilderoy Music, 1977 including the first verse asgien by Ciarili, the verse given by Malcolm 11 Apr 2002 and this as the last verse: Then it's farewell draling I now must leave you, no more to meet you on yon moorland dale, With sighing and sobbing, and love bewailing, so now come listen to my lovesick tale, For I've travelled England and I've travelled Ireland, I have travelled Scotland o'er and o'er, May the heavens above now protect my darling, near the mountain streams where the moorcocks crow. (I haven't checked to see which verses are in the DT - I remember that "dwelling" was typed in as swelling!)
