The DT file is a little coy about its source, but it seems to be the set noted by Cecil Sharp from Chester Lewis at Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Claiborne County, Tennessee, April 25, 1917. (English Folk-Songs from the Southern Appalachians vol.II no.145A). A few words have been changed and the tune moved from D to F with a few notes altered; nothing major. Presumably transcribed from a record by someone or other. If not Behan's specific source, nevertheless a close relative to it.
