Faith Petric of the San Francisco Folk Music Club has been researching this song and asked me to post this for her.

On a recording of the Connemara Cradle Song by Padraigin Ni Uallachain, it (liner notes) says: "Attributed to Liam Daly." Delia Murphy recorded the song in 1953.

The melody used for this song is "Down in the Valley."
