The above-mentioned sheet music from 1914, with the attribution to Mahoney and Wenrich, is also viewable at The Maine Music Box.

However, the National Library of Australia and the National Library of Ireland both have sheet music dated 1948 that is attributed to Seamus Kavanagh and P. J. Ryan. The sheet music is not viewable online and no lyrics are given in the catalogue entries.

The British Library has both.

Go figure.

The same question was asked in 3 other threads, and received similarly incomplete answers, here, here, and here.

YouTube has performances by—

Bridie Gallagher (in an actual video where she seems to be singing while browsing in an antiques shop!)

Derek McCormack

Dan The Street Singer

Bonnie Stewart

James Kilbane

Paddy McManus – from an old 78rpm record

a rather cute unnamed kid

... and a few of others, but I got tired of making links!
