Lyr Req: Tá mo margadh déanta?????/

I have this song going around in my head and I'm trying to pin it down. It is an oldish song (from Connamara I think). The singer sings the verse and at the end of each verse the chorus goes something like this: "Níl mo margadh" the listeners answer "tá do mhargadh" singer "Níl mo margadh deánta"
(forgive my spelling I am sort of illiterate when it comes to writing Irish)

Roughly translated this "My (marriage) agreement is not made" the listeners answer "it is made" the singer "its not made" etc. etc.

Any clues?

Thats the one Brían thanks. I heard it sang in a pub in Spidéal a few years ago, my memory is that there were more verses.
