There used to be a Portland, OR group called Howlin' Gael that had this song on their "Rant and Roar" album, as I recall. (The group changed composition over the years of their existence, but I believe the group on the album included Mary Benson--a fabulous singer--and the late Robert (Bob) Kotta.) I haven't heard other versions, so I've nothing to compare it to, but their version was great. I don't know how many verses they did, nor could I "name" the tune.
