An die Irish Folk Profis

Hallo,
ich suche schon seit Jahren nach einem Song, den ich mal gehört habe und der mir seitdem immer im Kopf rumschwirrt.
Nun habe ich endlich den Text im Netz gefunden, weiß aber immer noch nicht, wer das Lied singt
Vielleicht kennt ja einer von Euch den Interpreten? In der von mir gesuchten Version, singt eine Frau das Lied- hier mal der Text:
Lady Le Roy :
As I went a walking one morning in May
Viewing wild flowers all nature seemed gay
I spied a fair damsel on Eirn's green shore
She was viewing the ocean where the wild billows roar.
He said pretty Polly you're the girl I adore
And parting from you love would grieve my heart sore
Your parents are rich love and angry with me
But if I tarry with you I ruined will be.
So she dressed herself in a suit of mens clothes
And straight to he father immediatly goes
She purchased a ship, laid down its demand
But little he thought it was from his own daughter's hand.
Now when her father found out how he cursed and did swear
He sent for his captain and bade him prepare
To seek and to find them and their lives destroy
For they never will enjoy his proud "Lady Le Roy"
He bade them return to Ireland once more
Or broadside with broadside upon them would pour
This brave Irish hero has made his reply
We will never surrender we'll conquer or die
Then broadside with broadside on each other did pour
Louder and louder the cannons did roar
This brave Irish Hero has gained victory
Hurrah! for true lovers may they always run free.
They landed in Boston that city of fame
Of the other ship's commander I'll mention no name
Here's a health to pretty Polly long may she enjoy
Her proudest of heroes and the "Lady Le Roy".
