Probably the most popular ballad among Irish Travellers, first recorded from them by the BBC in Belfast in the early 50s (Mary Doran).
Beautiful English version recorded from Sheffield singer Frank Hinchliff and included on his album.
Irish Traveller 'Pop's' Johnny Connors, originally from Wexford, gave it to us as 'The Ballad of Cain and Abel' and equated it (at length) with the biblical story.
