Which is quite well known in "folky" circles. There are at least three field collections, and it's in all the major folk song books of the last three-quarters of a century -- Stewart & Keesing, several of Ron Edwards's books, John Meredith's books, Manifold, Fahey. I don't find it in Paterson. It has fifteen entries in the Roud Index other than the Traditional Ballad Index entry.
