These words are set to two distinct melodies, one of which is traditional and the other was written by the Kentucky folk singer and composer John Jacob Niles. Niles recalled that his father thought the traditional melody was "downright terrible", so he wrote "a new tune, ending it in a nice modal manner." The above is the traditional melody; the Niles is sung best by the Hi-Lo's, and was sung by Fred Waring and many high school choirs, without Niles being given credit.

Christy Moore stated that he learned the song from Hamish Imlach. But that line: "I went down to the Clyde, to mourn and weep" is pretty definitive, that the song is Scots originally. I don't know of another river Clyde anywhere, and we certainly don't have 1 here in Ireland.
I think we've sort of adopted it as Irish, the way Americans have adopted "Amazing Grace", which I think is another Scots tune originally!

I don't mean to be down on American folk music by any means, I like loads of it, but it didn't just grow out of the ether! Those who emigrated to the US in the 17th or 18th century, carried with them centuries worth of music and European cultural history.
They didn't just forget it all the moment they stepped ashore in America, or suddenly stop being Scots, Irish, or Germans etc, nor did they stop singing/playing the music of their homelands either. I would think...
