The original (version revival) version was by the Halliard.

"In the years immediately after the Napoleonic Wars there were riots and general unrest in many industrial areas. Troops from Lancashire were brought down to Midlands on several occasions, notably to Dudley, prompting a Midlands printer to print this song. The tune is the Three Jolly Rogues of Lynn, and was fitted by Nic Jones"

Sleeve notes from "The Halliard" 1968. Reissued on CD from Michael Raven, Yew Tree Cottage, Jug Bank, Ashley, Market Drayton, Shropshire TF9 4NJ United Kingdom, Tel: +44 1630 672304
