The Little Beggarman

My kids and I have always liked The Little Beggarman by the High Kings.  You Tube used to have a version where they demonstrated three Irish Chorus/Lilt's.  However I can not find the full version on You tube any more.  Here is the Gaelic words for the lilt: 
Row-ten Dow-ten Did-dl-ee ow-ten
Row-ten Dow-ten Dah, an a
Row-ten Dow-ten Did-dl-ee ow-ten
Dee-ten Die-ten Doh, di-ther-ah
Dom Dow-ten Row-ten Dom a
Row-ten Dee-ten Dah, Fea-ther-a
Do a di-ther-ah Row-ten Dow-ten
Fid-dle-ee Aye-ten Dah!
Yam Dom Rum-a Dom
Um Dom Rum-a Di-ther-a
Yam Dom Rum-a Dom
Dom-a da-Do a Di-ther-ow
