If you look
here
you'll find what I think is a recent addition to Tommy Makem's web site.

It includes nearly all of the lyrics to songs he's written or performed over the years.

Tremendous resource.

Every page has a 'copyright Makem.com' on it, but the actual authorship and copyright status of the songs is included above this. On the trad lyrics, there's nothing but what I take to be a page copyright (i.e., the formatting) so nobody seems to be over-reaching, copyrighting things that are right out of the tradition.
