I have Francie Brolly singing it on a new CD which I bought to-day and he sings it unaccompained and very well, but the melody isn`t like a "Nation once again".
Listening right now the melody sounds like "Erins Flag", Francie Brolly sings it very slow, and that is the way I have always heard it.
The record label is M.C.P.S, Derry Records, title Irish Songs of Freedom. Featuring Barleycorn,Anne and Francie Brolly, and Ray McAreavey/Wolfhound. 3CD Set. Ard Mhacha
