"Rosgor" mentioned above should, I am sure, be "Roscor"; it is near Belleek (home of the famous Belleek Pottery), in the far west of County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. I came across this thread (though previously aware of Mudcat) when Googling for the words "When my Love Willie went to serve the King". Last week at a local "Open Mic" I heard a woman sing a song which I found very nice; she didn't known the name of the song but gave me a few words of it which has led me to this forum.

The song she sang MAY be the song "Early Early" by Cran; I can remember the last, "floating" verse (she sang, about a marble stone at the head and feet, snow-white dove, etc, which also appears in "Rake and Rambling Boy" and I suspect other songs); however I will need to show her the words to see if this was true.

I had been listening to a version of (A) Sailors Life not long before (and have heard Sandy Denny's version of Sailor's Life with Fairport Convention about the late 1960s) but did not notice any similarity with the words of this at the time the woman sang the song, though perhaps I wasn't paying enough attention.
