Here's the first two verses

I waiting for John Murphy's van to take me to the site
I've been working seven days a week, from morning to dark night
And I step inside the van and gently close the door
The first thing that they ask me's What I did the night before?

Dirty Jack the ganger man, he talks about the times
Himself and old John Murphy worked deep down in the mines
He says he meets him often at the Dorchester Hotel
If you want to make promotion boy, get down and dig like hell

Skarpi I forgot the chorus

Take me back to Castlebar in the county of Mayo
It's the only place in Ireland, I'm longing for to go
Where they greet you with a friendly smile and they bid you time of day
When I set me foot in old Mayo, I never more will stray

I couldn't find this in the database--I think it's the same song I've been warbling a portion of to a friend of mine from Mayo, but I need to hear it to be sure. Any recommendations as far as a recorded version of this song that I could get, or a midi? And could someone post the rest of the verses?
