Thanks for the background, Nomad and Dicho! I had no idea this was a Child ballad, with versions in Newfoundland, even.

Last summer, I saw the Ennis sisters from Nfld. in concert, and they asserted that, differing from the rest of Nova Scotia, Nfld. was mainly settled by Irish. Is that correct, and does it mean the song could be Irish in origin?
