Yes, Martin Ryan, that's exactly the song I mean, and I anticipated that you would be among the respondents. I do have a recording of it, made on a cheap Dictaphone at a singing session some years ago (Fleadh Cheoil in Letterkenny, Donegal), and some of the words - I guess from context they are place-names - are indistinct. I had hoped the song might be here (and will check "lovely sweet..." in a moment, altho' in the version I have it is "darling sweet..."). Thanks too, Jim Dixon, for the song and the attached note, and indeed to all who have written. I'll look in again tomorrow, since I have a particular reason for wishing to learn the words quickly.
