Subject: RE: Origins: Child Ballads in Ireland
Hi Jim,

'Knight on the Road' was collected from Frank Quinn of Coalisland, Co. Tyrone, by Sean O'Boyle, 1958.

Also 'The False Fly', collected in 1975/6 by Angela Bourke from Brid an Gamha of Carna, Co Galway.

Len Graham also had a version (or so it says in my notes on the ballad) version from Bridget McGowan for Connemara.

Does that help?
