History
From Wikipedia; Ballisodare, (Irish: Baile Easa Dara, meaning "Town of the Oak by the Waterfall") (also spelled Ballysadare) is a suburb of Sligo City about 7 kilometers from Sligo City Centre. Built on the Ballysadare river, the area experienced rapid growth during the 'Celtic Tiger' boom, with many new housing developments, many of which now lie empty, creating phantom estates. The village was once choked with heavy traffic before the N4 Sligo-Collooney dual-carriageway was completed in January 1998. The N59 Ballina-Sligo road still winds through the village. It is home to St. Mary's College which serves the southern evirons of Sligo City and surrounding areas of Collooney, Coolaney and western County Sligo.
The Fiddler's Companion lists 2 songs of this title (as "BOYS OF BALLYSADARE"), the first one is what we are looking for. The second one is a fairly well-known 3-part Reel, which, apparently goes well with the first one. Ours apparently is also played with "The Butterfly".
