I learned this from the singing of Dick Gaughan on Five Hand Reel’s eponymous first LP. The liner notes say that Dick had it from the wonderful Fermanagh / Donegal singer Paddy Tunney.
You can hear Paddy Tunney singing the song on the 1965 Topic LP A Wild Bee’s Nest (now available as a digital download) or on Come Let Us Buy the License, Volume 1 of The Voice of the People series.
