Paul learned the song from Eddie Butcher of Magilligan Co (London)derry. It also appeared on ballad sheets.

Eddie sang for the verse in question:

I wrote her back an answer all for to let her know, While life was in my body, it's there I would not go, While life was in my body and while it does remain. I will aye mind the girl that said Don't come again.

Eddie's performance was on"Shamrock, Roase and Thistle" Leader LED 2070, (Vinyl) of which Ulstersongs has a few.
