I'd be interested in seeing the original Gaelic and any more info you have on it. I assumed that the Clancy Brothers were correct in their info on the song. I realize they could be wrong, but they seem share specific info during their concerts only when their sure.

Actually, that may make an interesting thread - "Are the Clancy Brothers always right (when telling the history of a song)?"

I know I've often wished they would share with their listener the authors or the songs they sing - at least in the liner notes.

hmmmmmmmmmmm
