Roud lists one example at present (2152), recorded by Peter Kennedy from Mrs Vashti Vincent at Sixpenny Handley, Wiltshire, in 1954. It is transcribed in Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland, pp 721-2. According to John Brune, the words were written by Carel Jaeger (about whom I know nothing). There is a broadside of 1867 extant, but I don't know if it's related.
