Aagh ... this gets to you when you're a male of a certain age.
But it was one of many Dubliners songs - the generality of which our family would sing over the family table with a game of cards and swig of poteen (that's not the right spelling, surely?) - actually, the lads had drinking chocolate and the rest of us had something equally Irish but more legal.
I think the Dubliners have stopped touring now - most of them are dead or nearly so ... sad
