NOTES [49 words]: Angelo Dornan is a major source for Creighton-MaritimeFolkSongs and Creighton-SouthNB. Many of his songs, like this one, are fragments that are too brief for me to identify. - BS
Paul Stamler and I also puzzled over this independently. We've given up and are filing it as a loose fragment. - RBW
