Do you know the name of the irish song which seems to add an extra line to each chorus and speeds up throuhout?

Sorry i know that is not alot to go on - it is not one of the more mainstream songs like danny boy or wild rover, i heard it once but can remember the name - i would be so grateful if anyone could suggest a possible name

Do you know the name of the irish song which seems to add an extra line to each chorus and speeds up throuhout?
is it Rathlin Bog? Think it goes a bit like...





Chorus:


O-Ro, the Rathlin Bog,


The Bog down in the valley-o,


O-Ro, the Rathlin Bog,


The Bog down in the valley-o,





And in that Bog there was a hole,


A rare hole, a Rathlin hole,


With the hole in the bog,


And the bog down in the valley-o,





Chorus





And in that hole there was a tree,


A rare tree, a Rathlin tree,


With the tree in the hole,


And the hole in the bog,


And the bog down in the valley-o...





And so on...
