- The following story was recorded from a local farmer's wife - Mrs Martin Dolan, Cornalaghta,
She learned the story from memory form her father - Michael Moran, Doonkelly, Fivemilebourne.
He died about 30 years ago and told myself once, that he bought the story from a ballad singer in the town of Drumkeerin at a fair there when he himself was quite young.

I reproduce the story exactly as it was told to me by his daughter.(continues on next page)
