My great -grandad . His mother used to sing it to him as a child . She was called Mary -Anne Hannigan. From Kingstown as was ( God bless him) used to sing this to me 40 years ago ! I have never known anyone else here in England who knew it . In his version , it was "There were eggs and tomaters all over her garters " the night that O Rafferty's pig ran away .
