Isn't it a version of GREY COCK, or GREY COCK (2)?

HollyWood by the Voice Squad 2) The Cocks are Crowing
This is one of the many 'night visiting' songs that appear in the traditional songs of so many countries. I think it is the best song that Eddie Butcher ever sang for me. Frank Harte - Chapelizod 1992

I'm assuming Henry's right that the song is the version of "Grey Cock" recorded by the Voice Squad [Good People All CD, 1993], so I'm going to close this thread and ask that the discussion be redirected here (click). E. nH, if this isn't the right song, please rephrase your question and give us more information.
The Voice Squad recording of this song is "wicked good."
