Yes - I'd forgotten that earlier thread, which generally corresponds with my quick answer above.

On the possiblity of earlier versions (or - where did O'Casey get it?): I have no recollection of coming across anything like it in places like "Harding's Dublin Songster", which had first sight seems a likely prospect. Also - the fact that John Moulden (in the other thread) doesn't recall seeing it suggests that it must be well-buried indeed, if its in print anywhere.
