Widely printed on English broadsides, going back at least to Armstrong of Liverpool, 1820-24. Longest version I have was printed in American Forget-me-not songsters printed in Philadelphia with 17 sts. All of the English broadsides have a standard 7 sts and the Glasgow Poet's Box issue of 1850 has 9 sts. |
