Alan Lomax recording, released on cd I Sang Through The Fairs, a Portrait series volume around this Irish traveller. There's a second live version added with Michael Green on fiddle.What about that Mantle So Green? She warmly holds the name of her lover embroided in it, who was slained at the battle of Waterloo, at least, that's what she was told.

Song thematically linked with The Plains Of Waterloo (see there).
