Philippa,
If I understood the line you wrote correctly, this is the daughter singing? The version I saw was with one or two verses from the fathers voice. I went to the library and tried to find the book again, but it was not there at the moment. I think the book was a collection of folklore from somewhere in Co. Kerry. I also heard some of he story behind the version from Ring in Waterford, and I'll try to find that as well. I belive it was a tragical story.
