Sorry, Carter "1955" was my mistake. (The old memory banks, they ain't what they used to be).

As Thomas noted above, "Tom Bolynn" appeared on the 10", 1949 "Backroom Ballads."

Vol. 4 notes only: "A very ancient song, this has been found by Oscar Brand in half a dozen different versions in many countries. It is apparently based on the exploits of one Tam Lynn, legendary king of the fairies and a hero of the sexual world."
