How do we locate the lyrics to the chorus? I'm the last person on earth who can identify the Gaelic text by ear from the recordings.
The chorus is a quatrain, four lines. The first line sounds like
"is 'o-ro-way o-ro-way' buachaillin brea"....
while the forth and final line sounds very like the line that concludes the final verse:
"go n-ólfaimid sláinte Chill Mhuire."
