In its most familiar forms, this is related to George Ware's innocent 1863 music hall effort, "She'd a Black and a Rolling Eye," but based on a pair of much earlier broadsides.

The earlier broadside is "Covent Garden Ramble," printed by Davenport of West Smithfield about 1801:

COVENT GARDEN RAMBLE

            One night in Covent Garden
                With pleasure I did steer,
            I met a pretty fair maid,
                  Taking of the air;
            Her shoes were made of kerseymere,
                  Her stockings they were silk.
            Her shift was made of the best lawn,
                  And her skin was white as milk.
                     She’d a black and rolling eye.

            I took this charming creature,
                  I took her to an inn,
            I swore I’d ne’er forsake her,
                  If that she would be mine,
            I detain’d this charming creature,
                  So long, she would not stay,
            She sigh’d and said I am a maid,
                  Pray let me go my way.

             I hope you will excuse me,
                  I dare not stop out so late,
             For if my mother she should know;
                  I would not for a groat;
             My father he’s a preacher,
                  A very holy man,
             My mother she’s a methodist,
                  And I am a true Britain.

             When I kiss’d this charming creature,
                  I had my heart’s desire,
             This little dirty stinking slut,
                  Set me all on fire,
             She set me all on fire,
                  Which caused me for to rue,
             This little dirty stinking slut
                  She’s one of the wicked crew.

The ballad was reprinted more than once. There are two printings in the Bodleian, one datable to as late as 1840-1851. The Davenport printing is from the Madden Collection.

"Kerseymere" is a fancy woolen twill noted for unusual softness and its use in expensive garments.
