Anybody know the origins of this song? The chap who sings it at our session thinks he learned it from the Dubliners, and I think it was sung by Paddy Reilly. I'm pretty sure it's not traditional.

It starts:

Young Molly was handsome and pretty; I've washed and put on me new coat,
and off to the mainland a courtin' I went in me small little boat.

CHORUS
Come up the Stairs, up the stairs, Come up the Stairs Molly-O
Come up the Stairs, up the Stairs, bring something to warm me old bones.

Don
