   Interestingly, the first couple of hits I checked out simply had a   
   blank page where the words would have been. A third site said, "The   
   artist has declined to publicize the lyrics of this song." At the time,   
   I didn't realize it was a traditional song, so I thought this was a   
   case of the songwriter being possessive. Now I think it was probably   
   that either they didn't *know* the words (and were faking it), or they   
   were worried about copyright infringement, although I don't know why,   
   because if this song is old and traditional, it must be in the public   
   domain. By the way, it wasn't a Danu site that had this comment. I don't   
   remember which one it was. In any case, I gave up at that point, thinkng   
   the song was either too obscure or too closely guarded or something. But   
   I did figure that people in a folk music group might be able to help. :)   
      
   Thanks again.
