It also appears in the book 'Pennsylvania Songs & Legends' (Johns Hopkins 1949). It doesn't have the 'In the barroom, in the barroom' chorus of the English version, but it does have a total of nine verses. Korson says: Foley sang it for the first time at the wedding of a niece at Mount Carmel in October 1892. It has had a steady popularity ever since. If I remember rightly, MacColl used the Elliot's version in his radio-balled 'The Big Hewer.'
