The song is rather obscure in the tradition (John Mouldon found one 19th century Scottish source for the lyrics in Crawfurd, albeit no tune), but was collected from Mrs. Elizabeth Cronin, Ballyvourney, County Cork, in th 20th century. It has been widely disseminated from that source, with numerous recorded versions extent.
