.Dennis King, do you know anything more about the Irish song, since you know some of the actual Irish words?

I was told by Graeme Taylor of The Home Service that they learned the words phonetically from the Irish actor Jimmy G. Devlin--thus "Shay fan yan ley" appears in the script for "The Mysteries" and on a CD of Linda Thompson's songs (Dreams Fly Away).

I could provide a recording if it would help.

Any information appreciated!
