Lots of sources mention it. - It seems not to be the only thing he ripped off. -- Interestingly, Anne, many years ago was a close friend of Bert Jansch. She collected songs like Blackwaterside, Willy O' Winsbury etc & gave them to Bert. Amongst others, Bert developed the guitar for Black Waterside & Page ripped it off. Several songs performed by The Pentangle were collected or written by Anne. She appeared late 90's in Documentary; Bert Jansch, Acoustic Routes #1 with Hamish ? & sings 2 part songs.; She is still great. - Docos. on Youtube now. I have downloded them all.

They also recorded the greatest con- cept album ever, "Book of Invasions," based on another Irish legend.

Is there a typo? That song, the one you get to listen to, is certainly a cool song... but, mostly 2 chords throughout with a pounding rock riff does not a Sondheim dalliance make, despite the lyrical story-telling shenanigans.... maybe if instead of going to music school sondheim went to a party with the stooges?
