The set in Child was taken from Buchan's Ballads of the North of Scotland (I, 24; 1828), and was the only Scottish example known to Bronson; the Sparks set was the only known English one, and the only one with a tune.  Apart from that mistake in the first verse, Nancy Thym has just added a couple of verses onto the end, which appear to be anglicisations of material from the Scottish set.  Any other "versions" appearing on record will be modern adaptations, not traditional; the best-known one probably being A.L. Lloyd's re-write, set to another tune (he didn't say, so far as I know, whether it was traditional or his own).  À propos of that, Lloyd commented "Dr. Vaughan Williams once said: The practice of re-writing a folk song is abominable, and I wouldn't trust anyone to do it except myself."

The Traditional Ballad Index accuses Sharp of bowdlerisation; since the original MS transcription of Mr. Sparks' singing has maiden name, and since Sharp only edited for publication, I think we can be confident that Mr. Sparks sang maiden name as noted.  Autres temps, autres mœurs; it is a mistake to imagine that the turn-of-the-century collectors were necessarily more prudish (as we might call it now) than those from whom they collected.
