Could some kind person please post any reliable oral versions of this song, i.e., those in Shamrock, Rose and Thistle (Shields) or any others? All I have to go on at the moment is the unreliable version in 'Songs of the People'. I am aware of Stephen's and John's research on this and it looks like Bruce was taking an interest before he left us. For such a seemingly seminal song it should be more readily available on the net.
