Possible references to this song, but have not heard the recordings- Rod Stradling, writing in Mustrad.ord (review of Kilgariff, "Sing us one of the old songs"), says "composer at present unknown." It is sung by Daisy Chapman in a recent or forthcoming cd. Also sung by Sean Dunphy on his cd.

Several songs with the title, making it difficult to look for.
