PW Joyce's Old Irish Music and Songs - here on the Internet Archive, to which you might throw in a tenner's worth of support if you can afford it - has Nancy the Pride of the West is; Joyce describes it as having the same air as "a beautiful song in Irish, to which I published… in Irish Music and Song.
