Hi, I have come across this thread when looking up about the 'Kerry woman's lament'. I know this is an old thread but i though id post the information i have about it. On an album called 'Ceol an Clar' which features the clare fiddlers Bobby Casey, Junior Crehan, Joe Ryan, Patrick Kelly, and John Kelly, there is a track on it called the kerry womans lament and the narrator (possibly junior crehan) says that story behind the air is the cannibalism story. The narrator also says there was Irish lyrics to the song but that he did not know them but he knew the air and the air is then played.
