I personally prefer Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, riding through the sward!!
I got a book from Amazon, Moore’s Irish Melodies, The Illustrated 1846 Edition. It has all the lyrics, but not the music to all Thomas Moore’s songs. I figure you can get the tunes from O’Neill’s 1850 and the lyrics from this book. Its all schmaltz to the max, so I’m not sure what you hope to accomplish.
