I believe George Edwards of New York State sang a traditional version of the Milligan song to collectors in the '30s or '40s. A text (his ?) appeared in _Sing Out !_ in the early '60s.

The melody of "The Foggy Dew" (either song) is entirely different from that of "The Foggy, Foggy Dew," but you can swap one for the other with some success. (Aesthetic, not popular.)
