Thanks Gilly - that certainly is a version but not the one I'm looking for
I should explain
I'm in the process of gathering together all the versions of Child Ballads that were got from Traditional souces in Ireland or (as an afterthought) those taken to America just after The Famine
Tom Munnelly's original numbered 50 - I've now added to that considerably
When I've finished I intend to get singer friends to record the ones I have no recordings of and distribute them to whoever might be interested
