The tune appears in the Bunting collection (General Collection of Ancient Irish Music, 1796), taken down from a County Down harper.

I love this song, especially how Cathy sings it. I know the story for it and i get a lump in my throat every time i hear it. My dad told me the story while i was listening to it once and i fell in love with it.If only i could find the correct lyrics...

Yeats mentions this song in The Celtic Twilight and it got me curious, so I looked the lyrics up liked them but had a hard time finding a version of the song I like till now. This version blew me away its simply beautiful.
