The Roud Index shows earlier collected versions than Lloyd's - the Greig-Duncan collection (53 entries in my copy) has a handful collected between 1903 and 1907, and Hammond also collected several version around 1905/6, for starters

My copy of the Roud Broadside index shows only one listing (plus two references to the song) - by Harkness of Preston in the Madden Collection.
