Well, that's all news to me, but very interesting. I'd suspect that anyone singing it in an English context would have at least indirectly picked it up from the Jack Elliott version- yer man Malcolm Fox does a good job of it... I don't know if Jack ever recorded it himself.
As for Athlone, maybe it was sung locally before the folk club, but certainly, in the Irish context, the influence of Bob Davenport material was just as long as that of Louis Killen, so who knows?
