An acquaintance of mine wants to use this traditional carol in an Irish Christmas Choral concert and on a Christmas CD (if it seems a bit early to be thinking of Christmas, bear in mind that rehearsals start in September, and the arrangement needs to be put together before then. The CD is already in the process of being recorded). I've tried the usual process of doing net searches on the title, as well as on any spelling variation of the title I can think of, and am having no luck at all. My only hope at the moment is that I can find someone who knows the carol and would be willing to jot down the lyrics, or finding some information on whom I might contact in Ireland (perhaps a university or a library?) that might have access to them. Any help appreciated!

I know the spelling of the title is unconventional, but it appears to be the way the song is known (perhaps because it was recorded under that title by Dordán, though it may also be a dialect thing). I've searched on every spelling I can think of, including various English phonetic spellings, with no luck.
