Thought you'd like to hear Mary at her very best, IMO
This is a her singing BURIED in KILKENNY , a version of Lord Randal
All Mary's singing was emotionally charged - from both ends of the emotional scale - it took us five goes to record her 'Donnelly' - a bawdy version of The Tinker which starts:

There was a little tinker and he had a little ass
and he stuffed a box of pepper up the little ass's arse*
*A reference to the somewhat cruel horse=dealer's trick of livening up a docile horse for selling

Each time she broke down from laughing

The circumstances of Mary's singing Buried in Kilkenny are what made it special for us
When she was travelling in North East London She had decided to have the school-aged children of her family of sixteen educated
and, in order that she could, a kindly Hackney councilor found her a home in a gloomy furnitureless flat in Bethnal Green - she was miserable from the day she walked through the door
Totally blind, children at school all day, and family travelling elsewhere for work, she was left alone all day with only a radio for company in a cold, echoey room
Pat and I turned up one night to see her and she virtually dragged us through the door, demanding that we record her songs
We had tried Buried in Kilkenny several times, but each time she had broken down saying it was "too heavy" - we assumed she was having trouble pitching it (one of her problems)
She commenced to pour all her misery into this tragic ballads - she'd never sung it as well before and never did do again

Mary's life reads like a Dostoevsky novel, which is why her 'two fingers up to the world' 'What Will We Do' is so special - lovely lady, lovely times

Hadn't noticed the query about obtaining the CD set - Musical Traditions produced it and I think still have it, but, if not, don't hesitate to ask
We learned last week that the Travellers had duplicated it and were passing it around among themselves and many had taken up some of the songs
Makes all those drunken nights well-worthwhile
