I found a similar looking song titled "A Local Song" which you can see here: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4428089/4377747/4435149, as recorded by Mary M. Scanahan, of Lismore, Co. Waterford

It appears to be dated 1938-1939 in the front of the book

I also found the following quote:

Fíodhna learnt this air from Tipperary singer, Nora Butler’s album ‘My Home Lies in Tipperary’ and received its history from Co. Waterford singer, Ann Mulqueen. Set in the late 1800’s along the ‘Mall’ or water-fronted Lismore road, this song depicts the tragedy of a young girl who falls in love with a British soldier, stationed in the garrison Co. Waterford town. Having being accused of being a traitor to her people as well as bearing his child, she was shunned and banished from her hometown to the ‘foreign valley’. Fíodhna is joined by singer, Cathy Jordan for their own rendition of the air.

If someone has that Nora Butler CD it may have more in its liner notes. She does attribute the copyright to Irvine
