It looks like the search facility on the MHF Music Database has got a bit of a problem, because it used to work for this song title, but doesn't now!
The song was written by Stuart Slack. There is a version of the song sung by the Regal Singers on the CD 'The Best That's In!' (a compilation of the best and most popular Manx music).
I found the Regal Singers in the database and it gives the following information re the track...
