The 'Bless you young women' second line (A-roving 2 above) comes from [only?] John Short - but the rest of the verses above are not his. What isn't in any of the verses quoted above is Short's 'I lift this fair maid over the stile... and nine months after she had a little child' verse - go on, you can work it out!
