I thought I had a printed version of that - the Roy Palmer book was by my computer while I was listening to Anni's version; that could have saved me a bit of work!
Anni's notes state: "Written by the Cumberland poet Robert Anderson and published in 1828. The tune is the Scottish air called "Andro wi his Cutty Gun" The song was of course written to be sung with a Cumberland accent but apologies Anni can only provide a Geordie one".
As Malcolm says, the closeness to Roy Palmer's text, suggests that was the source.
