Brian A Chara, I have an old recording of Eileen Donaghy singing it and she does it justice. In Colm O`Lochlainns Irish Street Ballads the only informsation he gives is, Air from Cathal O` Byrne Belfast, Cathal was resposible for a great book on the Belfast area,"As I Roved Out". I seen a reprint on sale last year, he was a folk singer as well as a writer, and in it he also covers a few songs, a good read. Slan Ard Mhacha.
