Here's a tune I picked up aged 7 in the Comhaltas in Wicklow Town. I couldn't find it on the site, so here it is. I can't see the connection to it's more popular relation, though. . .

Dubliners song building up and tearing england down

sounds like the melody in the dubliners song building up and tearing england down

Yes, similar melody, but "Off to California" is used in that song as well (see YouTube version), so I'd wager they got it from this. . .

Eugene O'Donnell's version on this album http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/1508 is quite like yours.
