I found a parody called Lucky Wee Prince Chairlie which mocks Bonnie Prince Chairlie on the site you suggested RA. Thanks for the tip.

I have a background in Scottish Gaelic, but I have learned Irish Gaelic songs before. I just learned the original 1745 Irish lyrics and will be working on the Pearse version shortly.

I have sung songs such as Brid Og Ni' Mhaille and Amhran na bhFiann.

I know that there were some songs that were shared between Scotland and Ireland, and the original version I believe was a Jacobite version showing Irish support of Bonnie Prince Chairlie's campaign in Scotland.

Thank you very much RA for the resource site.
