I thought we had a set of this on Mudcat before - but I'm damned if I can find it. Great song which I recall first hearing in the early '70's from Tony Holleran and Pauline Sweeney in the Athlone Folk Club. I seem to remember that John Moulden traced some newspaper reports referring to the case on which the song was based.
