Lanfranc mention above the use of the alternate words for Danny Boy.
I found his post as it was the only 'Hit' I got putting "Eily dear" in the SuperSearch. I had just been going through some old sheet music, and found Danny Boy, and was not aware of alternate lyrics for a man singer.
To get the alternate lyrics on-site, my next post will be a "LyricsAdd" Taken from a "New Edition copyright 1918 Boosey & Co"
