S:Padraig O'Neill of Droiched na gCorran, Helvick, Ring, "a boy then 
S:about twelve years of age. He was quite accustomed to sing into \
S:the phonograph." 
N:"The phrase in the 7th bar, consisting of a lond D, followed by a
N:long E, and probably with equal accent, is peculiar to this version.
N:The tune is sung in rather quick time and with well-marked accent."
