On the old record album notes it mentions that it was included in Herbert Hughes Irish Country Songs, volume III, which I have (I had forgotten it is in there). In the book, Hughes notes on this song - "Air taken down by P.W.Joyce from a ballad singer in Limerick in 1853... When Dr. Joyce published his collection of old Irish Airs in 1872 he was unable to remember more than one line of the ballad to which this air had been sung both in Dublin and Limerick and wrote the words here given." I have the sheet music if anyone wants me to post it. - Alice
