I first encountered a variant on the version posted by Jim Dixon sung by the Clancys/Tommy Makem and later heard two versions (slightly different tunes) by Ewan MacColl. But the more bucolic one that Jim Carroll posted, I first heard on a recording by the Kingston Trio (good rendition, if anglicised) and later by Ewan MacColl. Somewhere I read that the latter version was collected/rediscovered by Hamish Henderson. Memories are not always clear - Tom
