Neither of the sets of lyrics in DT credit the translation by Frank O'Connor from the Gaelic, and though Philip King is credited as a source, it should be added that he wrote the tune.

Unfortunately I've never come across Scullion or their recordings. Anyone know if theyre around on CD?

There's a lovely recording of the song on a new CD by Peta Webb & Ken Hall, As Close As Can Be, on Fellside.
