    Wow. Everything had to go right for an incredible Irish musician to go to another country and stumble upon an extremely rare book to find an old song that a woman heard growing up with her Irish immigrant family. I mean, that's fate right there.

      There are a few Irish Gaelic words in it such as "Spailpín" (Spalpeen or brat). A Spalpeen is poor day- labourer.
      McBride (Mac Ghiolla Bhríde) is a very common surname in the Ulster (north-most) province of Ireland but also among the Irish/Gaelic clans of Scotland.
      The song probably has Irish/Scottish roots but the lyrics sound to me like slightly archaic English as well.
      Nobody sings it like Paul Brady.
      Sláinte!

    There is no question that Dylan basically covered PB's version but a group called The Exiles recorded Arthur McBride in 1966 in which they sang "get nuthin but grool in the morning" ..a bit of spontaneous/coincidental creativity here. Folk music at it's best.

    “Borgue” is not an American word. It is a place in Scotland. I suspect that the lyric meant “Sup IN borgue in the morning.”
