@JimCodPie Dead right. It's also been done to other tunes such as Dives and Lazarus and the tune made famous by Luke Kelly.
This song was noted in many versions widely over England by song collectors such as Sharpe and Baring-Goulde and also be found on English broadside publications in the 19th Century.
Of course, the Irish (well, anybody!) is welcome to sing it in whatever way they like.
btw. @savageminstrel Nicely sung, I enjoyed it very much :-)
