It's a nice tune but I've always thought that the A&B sections don't seem to flow that well together. Try it other way around B section first and see if you find it works better.

Always reminds me of "The Wild Irishman" as played in Donegal by the likes of the late Con Cassidy.

This is pretty much "The Wild Irishman" as done by Paddy O'Brien with Chulrua, except his flows better:
