Steve Gardham Origins: The Young and Single Sailor (5) RE: Origins: THE YOUNG AND SINGLE SAILOR 16 May 22


The earliest datable street lit copy I have is dated 1802.
Its title is The Sailor's Return, printed in a chapbook by Robertson of Glasgow. You can look at it in the National Library of Scotland website LC2836 (18). Some kind person might do you a blue clicky. The chapbook is titled The Shepherd's Lament for the Loss of his Sweetheart.

However there may be earlier undated versions. I'll check later.
