I would like to know the origins of the version of this song....The Newlyn Highwayman that Cyril O'Donohue sings on both of his CD's Nothing but a child and Follin in Doolin. His version is different than any other version I have heard.

Refresh. Is anyone here in touch with Cyril O'Donoghue who could let him know about this thread, unless you know the answer to this question. Thanks for any info you might have for Susan....and I'm curious as well.

Have not heard Cyril's version, but Fred Gosbee's grandfather worked in the lumberwoods of Maine and New Brunswick and sang this song. Fred has recorded it on his album "John Earthy's Tavern" www.castlebaycds.com

Email me at [e-mail] if you want more info- I have a file about it, but will not be home till monday
