I don't know exactly, but it was collected by Martin Freeman whose work seems to have been published in the 1920's. I have found some references to him on this forum. Diarmuid O Suilleabhain's version is quite nice. The air is quite haunting. I notice the spelling in the version from the link you've provided appears to be old. It might be from Freeman's publication. Do you know anything about the song?
