I think I have found another reference. In the Sherborne (Gloucestershire) mummer's play, the Jack Finney character says:

Last night me mother and I fell out
And that you can plainly see
She gied I this old tin cannister
To make a hurdie gurdie.

He is then asked to play a tune and plays Greensleeves.
