The song was also in the repertoire of NY State lumberman Ezra "Fuzzy" Barhight, who was recorded by folklorist Ellen Stekert in the 1950's. He was 80 years of age when he first sang it for her, and learned most of his songs in the northern PA/southern NY lumbercamps, where, as he said "a good many of the men were Irish".

I'm learning his version now, and will post the lyrics once I have them all, but at first glance, they are VERY similar to NSC's Co. Clare version above.
