It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1926 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.
Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Mentioned in a Murdoch ad in the November 1, 1921 Musical Times (and not as among the works "in press".)
Padraic Colm's dates are 1881-1972, so his songs are not public domain in Canada until 2023. These songs were published individually, together, and in a set with the 3 Irish Songs GP 252 of 1922 (as "9 Irish Songs for voice and piano" - 3+5 does not equal 9, but... well?!...)
