Maudlin ..... I can't say if this is the original version of the song but it is a copy of the broadside that is held in theBodleian Museum in Oxford.
Unfortunately it is not dated but it is likely to be pre-1900.
I'm sure that reading the song in it's entirity will make more sense than the version that you found.
There has been a previous thread or threads about this song , I'm sure, but with Forum Search not working properly I haven't been able to find it/them.
