I have a cassette tape By "Kevin McElroy and Friends" with this song, though the recording is probably out of print. Kevin says he first heard Sean Tyrell of Galway singing it.

It is in Robin Morton's Folksongs Sung in Ulster. It was written by an old woman in Ballylisk near Tandragee as a parody of a song called THE HILLS OF GLENSWILLY. It appears to have been sung to a variant of SWEET BETSY FROM PIKE.
