The recording made by Huw Roberts on this recording http://www.thesession.org/recordings/display/2243 is quite a diferent version, although clearly related. You can listen to part of it here: http://www.fflach.co.uk/cms/fflachaudio/ffidil/08.mp3 . Here's a transcription (The last line, in brackets, is a guess - I haven't got round to buying the CD yet, so I'm relying on the free sample linked to above, which doesn't quite reach the end of the tune):
K: D Major
L:1/8
M:2/4
|: d/d/d fd | g2 ec | d/d/d fd | e2 cA |
d/d/d fd | ge ge | e/f/g f/g/a | e2 cA :|
g2dB | Bg dB | g2dB |Ae cA |
{g2dB | Bg dB | e/f/g f/g/a | e2 cA :|}
The interesting thing is, this recording reveals it to be a close relative of this tune: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1484 . I would never have made this connection from the version posted by Conway.
Perhaps the vague similarity in the sound of the titles is no co-incidence.
