Apart from the sources already mentioned, a fragment appears in Songs from the Manuscript Collection of John Bell (Dave Harker, ed., Surtees Society, 1985, p.6), with the comment that it was "probably current in the mid-1790s". Tune and one verse also appear in Bruce and Stokoe, Northumbrian Minstrelsy, 1882, p.126.

The text above from Frankie Armstrong's record is identical to Roy Palmer's collation already posted; she learned it from Palmer's book.
