Here's a MP3 of the whole song by Finn MacGinty and Hanz Araki from their CD "Early Rising" by Setanta - click here. This is on Hanz Araki's web site.

There are many versions of this. The one I learned is mainly from this CD, although I have varied it some. I heard Mick Moloney do a great version of this at the Agusta Heritage Center last summer, but I don't think he has recorded it. He does it much slower and with his Irish accent it adds great authenticity to the story. I think one should listen to various versions and then decide on one's on interpretation rather than just copy someone else's version as the "definitive" one.
