: This is Davey Gunn's question!! He knows that song very well and will fill in the missing word if he sees this message posted. Also, Scottish, Irish, not really much difference as we see it here in the colonies. They are all Celtic, so tunes, songs, words are all interchangeable.. .probably due a lot to groups like the Chieftains who intermix both cultures, making it all Celtic....
