Paddy adds the following note: Taken down from the singing of Tommy Whelan, Duncannon in 1979. Murphy's of Ballykeroge had a coursing dog called "The Juggler" around the turn of the century and raced it all over Ireland including his home ground where a twice yearly meeting was held beside the marshes of Kilmarnock near Campile village. The ballad was written by Michael O'Brien. Regards
