Joe, thanks for the rest of the links! Threads like these are the worhtwhile ones.

O'Meara's version is verified therein. Sands wrote the poem, Moore adopted words and added the refrain. Maybe or maybe not he got it from Lightfoot.

If so, then we still need to determine where Lightfoot got the tune (unless of course he is the original author). How would one check that?
