Does anyone know of an old west cork song called the maid from coomnagire?

Isn't it The Maid of Coolmore?








The Maid of Coolmore


Traditional





From sweet Londonderry to the fair London Town


There is no other like her anywhere to be found


Where the children are smiling and playing around the shore


And the joybells are ringing for the maid of Coolmore





The first time that I met her she passed me by


The next time that I met her she bade me goodbye


But the last time that I met her she grieved my heart so


For she sailed down off Ireland away from Coolmore





If I had the power or the strength to arise


I would blow the wind back here for to turn the blue skies


I would blow the wind back here to make the salt sea to rise


On the day that my love sailed away from Coolmore

Does anyone know of an old west cork song called the maid from coomnagire?
