Hi Q,

OK, I'm back with you now, thanks.

I'm not sure how the song you mentioned got linked up with Baez in the mixed up mishmash of the Internet, but anyway, I find it as a composition of an Irish writer, PJ McCall, whom I don't know much about, but I recognize the names of a lot of songs he wrote as "standard" Irish music fare. Words are his, the tune is supposedly traditional (according to a casual Google search). Here's an example of someone performing the song.

I'm still under the assumption that McCall would have based this off the "Golden Vanity" strain of ballads.
