Dick Gaughan tells the tale of when he was singing his version to an audience of Merseyside dockers, after the verse:

O A will mairry yer dochter Janet
By the truth o my richt haun
An I will mairry yer dochter Janet
But the de'il tak aa yer laun

they all stood up and cheered at Willie putting the king in his place.

Jim Eldon calls his version High Castle Wall. When questioned about this, he replied that he didn't like to call it Willie (or whoever) of Wherever because no name is mentioned.
