I think I know the song you mean. Its a comic one.
Google is not finding it.

Try RnaG - I think it may only exist in their archives.

It starts something like "Sé troigh sé a bhí an damhán alla"

Sung and written by Tomás Mac Eoin, (from An Cheathrú Rua).

This podcast has some of the song at the very end.

Did you want the lyrics of it or the actual song sung?

Thanks for the replies... was looking for both the lyrics and a way of finding a recording of the song.
