The song that is called SAINT BRENDAN'S VOYAGE in the DT should actually be called ST. BRENDAN'S FAIR ISLE. (It is correctly attributed to Jimmie Driftwood.)
There is a different song called ST. BRENDAN'S VOYAGE by Christy Moore. The lyrics are here:

I'd disagree - the Jimmie Driftwood Americana box set says the song title is "St. Brendon's Isle (The World's Largest Fish)"
