Cenneag Mhor
This tune is fairly well known in Scotland as a Gaelic puirt a buel, and I have played a version of it for years called "Cenneag Mhor"
(see http://www.nigelgatherer.com/tunes/tab/tab6/cenn.html)
- my version came from the playing of Addie Harper.

S'iomadh rud a chunnaic mi; lyrics
S'iomadh rud a chunnaic mi
S'iomadh rud a rinn mi
S'iomadh rud a chunnaic mi
A-muigh air feadh na h-oidhche
Chunnaic mi na piseagan
Na piseagan, na piseagan
Chunnaic mi na piseagan
Air spiris Mac an t-Saighdeir
S'iomadh rud a chunnaic mi
S'iomadh rud a rinn mi...
=>
Many a thing I saw, many a thing I did
Many a thing I saw out during the night
I saw the kittens, the kittens, the kittens
I saw the kittens on the soldier's son's roost
Many a thing I saw, many a thing I did ...

D version
Here's the D version. My search didn't find this version because I was using a different spelling. Had I found this, I would have just posted here in the comments. And on reflection, my setting doesn't fit the lyrics of the puirt-a-beul all that exactly either. Here it is anyways.
