Bunting says this Ancient Music of Ireland (1840);
(Ballinderry) has been a favorite performance from time immemorial with the peasantry of the counties of Down and Antrim, the words being sung by one person while the rest of the party chant the cronan (chorus) in consonance.....There are numerous other sets of words sung to Ballinderry; they are all of a very rustic character and uniformly refer to localities along the rivers Bann and Lagan such as

'T is pretty to be in Ballinderry,
'T is pretty to be in Magheralin etc

'T is pretty to be in Ballinderry,
'T is pretty to be at the Cash of Toome etc
