GUEST,John Moulden Origins: The Old Orange Flute (21) RE: Origins: The Old Orange Flute 19 Jul 22

As has been suggested above, this is most likely a satirical song. As far as I can gather its earliest appearance was in The Bohemian Songster published around the turn of the 19th/20th centuries in Dublin by the Nugent company. A shortening of that source to "Nugent Bohem" seems to have led in some publications, especially by Waltons of Dublin to an attribution of authorship, which has set many a one off on a sleeveless errand through Street Directories and Almanacks!
