"Ca raibh tu ar feadh an lae?" Colm McDonagh (Irish text unavailable)

 "Where have you been?"- Irish Gaelic version of Lord Randal sung by Colm McDonagh of County Galway in 1951. Translation from liner notes.

What had you for your dinner O brother?
What had you for your dinner O flower of young men?
An eel that was twisted with red blood [poison] put in it
I'm sick a t heart and must lie down.
