Strangely enough, I discovered I had these lyrics all along, even though I started this thread asking for them. They are in Volume Four of Herbert Hughes' Irish Country Songs. Although some of the words are awkward to sing in English, it was easy to adapt the lyrics into the version I now sing. I changed mostly the first verse, and my version is this:

Oh, my Connor, his face is as red as the sunrise,
And his bright sparklin' smile, like the pearls from the sea,
And his hair, silky ringlets, through my fingers caressing,
Oh his whispers, like doves, are a love song to me.
