Whilst there is is every possibility that the song is older than 1760 there is also equally every possibility that the song came over, either in print or orally, in about 1760 with English migrants and the servant girl had picked it up from one of them. Until further evidence presents itself the Aldermary Churchyard version at about 1760 is the oldest we can date it. >>>seemed like it's much older<<< Is this a genuine feeling or just wishful thinking? Remember the 'Billy and Sally' incident which turned out to be a double hoax?
