In the Clancy version, the singer doesn't "Cuir fios ar an sagart láithreach"; instead of sending for the priest he simply goes to Tipperary, "ó thuaidh go Tiobraid Árainn"

not that the gibberish quoted by Joe says that "brog cor" might refer to a shoe, but I can't make sense of the line as a sentence. As far as I know, all but the last line of the Clancy version is substantially the same as what I've given above, but I find it nearly impossible to make "Agus d'éaluigh bean ón Ráth liom" out of "Au ge steghey bor auh raurren"!
