It is also known as "Sweet Cootehill Town." from the Co. Cavan town. The influx of Scots Planters here in the C17 might go some way to explaining its presence here. I also have the feeling that there is a poem by one of the Rhyming Weavers who wrought in Counties Down and Antrim in the C18 - C19 which goes to the same air. I checked up the site given by Jeri and only got the faintest echo of the "Parting Glass" popularised by the Clancys. |
