Where does one find a traditional version?
Who is Frank Bridge?
The original tune for Carey's song was composed by Carey himself. It was later [in 1818, and possibly earlier] set to "The Country Lass". A single sheet song with music issue says 'The words and tune by Mr. Carey'.

"Sally's New Answer Set to the tune of Moggy Lowther" is another single sheet song, commencing "And is there that a Lad so Smart in this our Humble Ally".

An imitation In 'Miscellanies in Verse', 1727 is one commencing "Of all the girls that e'er were seen, There's none so fine as Nelly'.

The song to the tune of "Black Joke" in 'The Beggars' Wedding', 1729, looks rather like an immitation, also. This commmences "Of all the girls in our town or black, or yellow, or brown" (Also on a single sheet with music).
