The Wexford man is now dead God rest his soul, but he has 3 sons living in the same area around Enniscorthy. Yes to Big Tim, I have been singing this song for some years now. I first heard my mother sing it nearly forty years ago. I later learned the song from the late Frank Bryson (ar dheis De go raibh a anam usail) well known ballad singer from South Armagh and Dublin.
