Cyril O'Brien, "I Just Arrived From Dublin" (on MUNFLA-Leach)
NOTES [65 words]: The first two lines of the chorus are quoted above, in the description. It continues: "Here we are boys, here again, here again, Here we are boys, here again, Irishmen are we." - BS
I don't find this in Johnny Burke's collected works, but I have a feeling he either wrote or made use of this, given the occasional similarities to "The Kelligrew's Soiree" and Burke's tendency to recycle. - RBW
