See if you can find an old Triona Ni Dhomnail (sp?) album named "Triona." It has a wonderful duet on it called "The Wee Lass on the Brae." It's different.

Also, good old "Molly Malone" is a good song. It feels so good in the mouth. Look for the version in O'Neill's Music of Ireland, which has an interesting variation in the refrain. In Ireland, they sing "she died of a fever, and none could relieve her," which gets rid of the awkward fever/save her rhyme we have here. ("Fever" used to be pronounced "faver.")

As for the remark that a song isn't Irish unless it's in Gaelic, I say the heck with that kind of factionalism. The Irish have a done great things with the English tongue, and no one should take that achievement away from them.
