POLLY VAUGHN = This is an out-take/bootleg. Circulating amongst collectors Dylan and David Bromberg Sessions. (Good As I Been To You album - 1992) An Irish Folk Song. Songs that refer to Polly Vaughn also was Polly Von by Peter, Paul, and Mary One Starry Night by Black 4. The earliest known version of the tune for the Irish version of the song, is earlier than the earliest printing of the words. Edward Buntings General Collection of the Ancient Music of Ireland appeared in 1796. He printed the Irish tune three times in his manuscripts, each time noting it was traditionally the first to by learned by beginning harpers. If this in turn really is derived from O’Carolan’s composition “Fairhaired Mary” then it must date back to 1738 or before. Under the Irish title An Cailín Bán it is first mentioned in 1839 (The fair girl) as a tune rather than a song. The tune appears in The Concertina and How to Play It (1905) by Paul de Ville (as Molly Bawn), again implying it suitable for beginners to the instrument. This would suggest that the words were not married up with the Irish tune until sometime between 1840 and 1905. The English tune is known from the time of Baring-Gould (c 1890). In Atlantic Canada, particularly Newfoundland, a variation of the original song, titled Molly Bawn has been very popular through the years. This version depicts a man, reminiscing in sad despair, over the loss of his young bride many years ago. However, nowhere in the song is the manner of the girls death mentioned.
