I've heard the version given in Rick's Pages (or something very like it) sung by Manus O'Riordan, whose family come form West Cork. I'll ask him about its origins when I next meet him.

Can't see the Bodleian image at the moment - so I have no idea what its like?

Regards

p.s. Coincidentally, I saw both Manus and his father Michael (who fought on the Repuplican side in the Spanish CIvil War) at the launch of Frank Harte's Napoleonic CD , just last Friday.
