Last night, I read in Christy Moore's great songbook/autobiography One Voice: My Life in Song that the song Irish ways and Irish laws has been adapted to North America as 'Indian ways and Indian laws'. There was no further information in Moore's book. I can easily guess the first verse:

Once upon a time there was,
Indian ways and Indian laws,
villages of Indian blood
waitin' for the morning,
waitin' for the mornin'.

But there must be more changes in later verses. I'd love to see the lyrics here.
