I got this one from an EFDSS book and from The Broadside Band from Grimsby which included Brian Dawson and John Conolly

Johnny Collins sings this but does not have the second verse which starts " If a King should sit beside me"

I have had an interesting contribution from Graeme Knights who got it from Ruariridh Gregg showing how this evolved over the years (century or two)

Interesting Victorian Street ballad I suspect had Music Hall re write
