Angun,

Thank you so much for these clear words! I had 2 versions where people had guessed from the "Old Hag" CD and neither made any sense. These clearly are the correct words. What a relief!

The third version was supplied by someone who had posted to an Irish language website, he referred me to a URL which has words that don't bear much resemblance to the Bothy Band version, and they're not as pretty as these. If you're interested, the URL is www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~ndrose/texts Yours definitely are the words for me. Thanks again!
