G'day Mark,

You'll find about as much as you are going to find about that local version on p. 51 of Meredith & Anderson's Folk Songs of Australia and the men and women who sang them, vol. 1, Ure Smith, Sydney, 1967. John collected it from Mary Byrnes, in 1954, Concord, Sydney.

Mary sang one more stanza than Leisy quotes.

Ive got two brothers who are both in the army,
One is in Cork and another in Killarney.
If they were here tonight and all so free and jolly,
Tossing off another glass to my deceitfull Molly.

The tune looks like pretty much the same as you would know from the popular versions recorded back in the "Folk Scare". For comparison you should go back to original material in Colm O'Lochlainn's Irish Street Ballads.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
