Child, in his discussion of no. 283, cites the ballad of the Norfolk, Rygate or Cheshire farmer's daughter as similar.

I have a recording of Clive Woolf (with guitar, before he was struck down) singing a version with a 9/8 tune. I've just asked him where he got it. Without going to check, he thinks it was based on a version collected by Kidson, with possibly a verse or two grafted in from another version.

I can transcribe Clive's words if anyone desperately wants them.
