Fred McCormick's terrific "World's of Trad" radio show:

This month's playlist includes a somewhat unusual Irish version of Child 112, "The Baffled Knight" ("Oh, there was a shepherd's boy, and he had sheep out on the hill"), sung thirty or forty years ago by John Campbell in Co. Cavan.

It has refrain that may be Irish, or it may be gibberish. If Irish, can anyone tell what it means? Here's what it sounds like to me:


        "Agus O malla malla mo,
        Rocka misha wallia lass,
        Rocka misha wallia lass, oho."
