When everyone has left for the evening and James plays the guitar while Nora sings. What is that song called?

It's a traditional Irish song called The Lass of Aughrim. You can hear it on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEJREIbcY_A

Also very similar to a tune called "Lord Gregory." A fine version was recorded by Martin Simpson on "Leaves of Life."

This is what Michael sang to Gabriel's wife in Joyce's "The Dead"...what does the song mean?
