Hi, I need to know if this song is traditional or still under copywrite. It appears on a Shaskeen album, but I don't know its origin, and there is nothing in Mudcat about it? Anyone help please? Dave
Words below...

My Lovely Lough Gill

Many miles o'er the sea I have wandered,
and the Devil may care I have been,
All the good things in life I have squandered,
and contentment I never have seen,
But where 'ere in this life I may wander,
sure my memory lies with me still,
Of my own mountain homestead in Sligo,
on the shores of my lovely Lough Gill

Chorus
From Kerry to Derry, look where you will,
No place can compare with my lovely Lough Gill.

With the colleen I loved I would tarry,
on the island of sweet Innishfree,
It was there she promised to marry,
and become Mrs Patrick McGhee,
But plans are like promises broken,
so I'd rather not ask me to tell
Of the days those fine words were spoken,
on the shores of my lovely Lough Gill.

Sure she told me when I took to roving,
that a rich man I'd very soon be,
And now I am rich in Wyoming,
but a rich man a poor man can be.
He's far away from his homeland,
but his memory lies with him still
Of his own mountain homestead in Sligo,
on the shores of the lovely Lough Gill.
