Thanks MM, I reviewed the Forum and remembered that Dale Rose had found an on-line GIF at Library of Congress (or similar). I had promised to notate the tune but have not prior to this. I found the song in print in 'Irish Music Hall' from MCA/MILLS - no publication date.

Of the 70 or so songs in this volume of 'American Irish' songs there are probably three others that would warrant attention:

If You're Irish Come Into The Parlor (missing tune in DT)

Irish Jaunting Car (popular in my parent's era)

With My Shilelagh Under My Arm (music hall classic)

It also includes a number of songs that are in the DT, where authors are nominated. While I can't guarantee their authenticity I'll mention them now.

The Moonshiner - Delya Murphy MCMXXXIX - Walton's of Dublin

Harrigan - George M Cohan MCMVII

Isle of Innisfree - Dick Farrely MCML Peter Maurice Music London

Courtin in the Kitchen - Delya Murphy MCMXKII - Walton's Dublin

Wearin Of The Green - Lyrics by Dion Boucicault 1942 - Mills Music
