Incidentally, the date of publication of the lyrics on the broadside I reprinted above is fairly well identified as the 1820s because of the inscription at the bottom, "Printed and sold, wholesale and retail, by J. M'Cleland, 285 Water-st." According to the associated information sheet from the New York Historical Society, "New York printer Joseph C. M'Cleland [i.e. M'Clelland] was active at 285 Water Street during the years 1824-1829." (Brackets in original.) That being the case, I think this qualifies as the earliest known published lyrics of Peggy Gordon, as far as I know. (If anyone knows of a confirmed earlier publication, please let us know.)
