If you look at the sheet music for the Calico Printer's Clerk you'll find it's actually called "'She was very fond of dancing' or 'The Calico Printer's Clerk'". The two examples in the ballads in the bodleian library both title the song The Calico Printer's Clerk. It was written by Harry Clifton with the original tune by C. Coote jr. Clifton was a prolific writer of music hall material including "On board of the Kangaroo" which has made its way into the folk world. Chris Harvey and myself recorded the original version on the CD "Manchester Ballads"
