Thread Name: Lyr Req: One Starry Night (D Spillane & S Tyrrell)
Subject: One Starry Night
I'm trying to learn the Davy Spillane/Sean Tyrrell song "One Starry Night" from the singing of the fabulous Lynne Heraud, but there's one phrase I can't quite make out in the third verse:

I'm oft-times drunk; tonight I'm sober,
A constant rover from town to town.
And when I'm dead and my travelling's over,
O Molly Bourne xxx come and lay me down.


Anyone help with the missing phrase - which sounds as if it might be Gaelic akin to A Stor ma Chroi, but I can't be sure?
