The words to this song were written, not by an Irishman as many might think, but by a Canadian by the name of G W Johnston. The music was provided by J A Butterfield and the song was copyrighted in 1866. It may be confusing to those who know the song better as 'Maggie' not 'Nora', but the explanation is simple. Johnston wrote the song for his wife whose name was Maggie. Nora is the Irish version, hence the confusion as to the song's origin. I hope that clears it up. It is really a Canadian song.
