depends on your definition of rock n roll. I'm fairly certain you where not looking for Fredrick Weatherly while using the words rock n roll. perhaps the Celtic American rock band, 1916, is who you where referencing.
The lyrics to the traditional song Danny Boy were written in approximately 1910. They were written by a man named Frederic Weatherly, who was a lyricist and a lawyer.
The lyrics were written by an Englishman, but the tune itself is an arrangement of "Londonderry Air" which is a traditional Irish melody.
Could it be 'Danny Says' by the Ramones (also covered by the Foo Fighters) or Danny's Song by Anne Murray?

Country Joe McDonald did this on the 1975 Album titled Paradise With An Ocean View. Other artists have also done this tune with my personal favorite being Danny Doyle.

No. -A
It was altered lyrics to the tune of that old Irish song, "Danny Boy" ("Oh Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling..."). The lyrics went: "Oh Artie boy, the bugs, the bugs are buzzing/There's gnats and ants mosquitos on the fly/And there'll be bugs for breakfast lunch and dinner/In that great chameleon banquet in the sky."
