Joe, not too sure... My version of Rattlin bog (if I'm thinking of the same song as you) Has the verse:And on this maid there lay a man (rare man and a rattlin man)...
But I think that that sort of song is fun. The one I learned in school that in many ways is similar to Rare bog and a Rattlin bog (tune different) starts:
Now in this wood there was a tree
The finest tree you ever did see
And the green grass grew all around around around
And the green grass grew around.I am not sure about dates but I would guess that "The Fox (walked out on a wintera night)" could be a good one that fits the criteria.
