Editor: Mark Hamilton Dewey (added 2006-08-10).   Score information: Letter, 1 pages, 72 kbytes   Copyright: Personal (You may treat it as if it were public domain: i.e. you don't need permission to use, publish, or sell it; you may not claim the copyright of this work for yourself or others; however, you may copyright derivative works); the melody itself is already officially public domain.
Edition notes: Parts, second verse (based on a translation from Old Irish to English by Aodh ó Dugáin), and re-versification by Mark Hamilton Dewey (b. 1980); arrangement written in the summer of 2006. I wrote this arrangement on account of the scarcity of public domain choral arrangements of this song. The midis will act as karaoke; all verses play.
