Just guessing, but with all the references to shillings, etc., the song could go back to Colonial times. Although attributed to Quakers, it seems widespread outside their culture.
Here is one from Ohio.

THE QUAKER'S WOOING

I had a true love, but she left me;-
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
I now am broken hearted;-
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
Well, if she's gone I wouldn't mind her,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-di-do,-
You'll soon find one that'll prove much kinder,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-day.

I've a house and forty servants,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
And thee may be mistress of them,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
I'll not do your scolding for you,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-di-do,-
'Deed I feel myself above you,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-day.

I've a ring worth twenty shillings,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
And thee may wear it if thee's willing,
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh!
What care I for rings or money,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-di-do,
I'm for the man who calls me honey,
Fol-de-rol-de-hey-ding-day.

Miss Abbott, learned from her mother. With music, pp. 293-294, # 131, Mary O. Eddy, 1939, Ballads and Songs from Ohio, J. J. Augustin Pub. NY.

The last verse may be a floater, since it is found in other songs. In a fragment in American Memory, it is given as:
I care not for your rings nor money
Fal fal ke-die-de-o
I want someone to call me honey
Kiddy ka-dink, ka-die-de-o.
