Henry's Songbook; McCafferty Susannes Folksong-Notizen English Notes; [1967:] ...and the fact that its tune is a variant of that favourite Irish air for unruly texts [...] The croppy boy (from which the "I have no father" motif is lifted). (Lloyd, England 246) In fact, McCafferty's father had deserted McCafferty and his family; [1983:] Patrick McCaffery was born in Co. Kildare in October 1842. His father was an asylum governor who, upon being cleared of charges of misconduct, took off alone for America. Mrs. McCaffery was unable to support the boy, so she sent him to England to stay with a friend, Mrs. Murphy of Mossley near Manchester, where, at the age of 12, he started work in the mill. (Davie Redman, Southern Rag 16, p. 21)
