I have a ballad sheet that doesn't name a printer but names Charles Jackson as the author. My research indicates that he was one of a group of balladmakers centred in Limerick from 1830 to 1880 or thereabouts. (See my article in Limerick History and Society, Dublin, 2009). The text seems very similar to that provided by Manus O' Riordain. I''ll check it closely if requested.
