That seems to be an old Irish song that the Irish forgot. A contributor to Robert Gordon sent him a few verses (now in the Gordon MSS in the Library of Congress Folklore Archive) in the 1920's and said it was a song they were all singing in around 1889. I lost my notes to that copy, but there's one in Gordon MS XI, p. 323. Another version is in Randolph's 'Ozark Folksongs', and another in John Wade's Collection of Irish Songs, Oak Park, Ill., 1947. It was clearly not written by Jock Stewart of Blair, Scotland, who sang it on phono records, and whose heirs claimed was written by him.
