An Buachaill Caol Dubh	Lyr Add: The Night Before Larry Was Stretched (63* d)	RE: Lyr Add: The Night Before Larry Was Stretched	10 Feb 09
In Colm O'Lochlainn's "Irish Street Ballads" (I don't know which of the two volumes), he suggests Oliver Goldsmith as the maker of the song, and as far as I remember he quotes at length from an article he wrote on the matter. It seems Goldsmith was in the habit of disguising himself as an itinerant ballad-singer and going around the streets of Dublin hawking ballads, some of his own composition.
