Sean recorded that on his first (I think it was), The Roving Journey Man (Cottage Records, Cot 411, 1977); I don't know if it has ever been re-issued. He said he got it from Donal McGuire. The Scottish band Kentigern recorded a similar set a couple of years later (Kentigern, Topic 12TS394, 1979), in their case learned from "Glasgow fiddler Willie Beaton".

A text much like Sean's was posted here five years ago, at THE WILD ROVER; in that case from Gerry Cullen, who had it from Mary-Ann Carolan. The song is closer in that form to the way it used to be sung before either the Clanceys or the Dubliners -I forget which- learned Sam Larner's Norfolk set from Ewan MacColl, and recorded it as a speeded-up drinking song, starting its decent into a (financially rewarding) but crass football-chant.
