Hey, Pooka, you sound true to your nickname (ha!). I'm still wishing the anonymous woman who taught some of it to Dominic Behan could be found. And, my earlier question, "Does anyone know of other songs with a similar tune that could have inspired this one?" was posted Feb 15, 2000, two years old this week.

I really like to sing this song. Even if we come up with no more information about it, I've enjoyed having this thread.
