Jim Gardham – Like you and others on this thread I find the origins and evolution of songs to be a fascinating subject. Would you mind being a little more specific about the different songs you mentioned in your post of 20 March where you talk about three versions published about the same time, two in Edinburgh and one in England. In what way are the Edinburgh songs “versions”? You say they are very different (I assume from each other) but do they just have a similar theme but no significant resemblance in text or tune to the song we now sing? Or do you think either could have influenced the version sung in London's pleasure gardens? And how close is the London song to the modern version?
