Harry probably got the words from a broadside. The only version I have is in Martha Vicinus's Broadsides of the Industrial North as printed on a Harkness of Preston broadside. There may be a copy on the Bodleian Ballads website. If not let me know which bits you're not sure of and I'll check them out for you. Oddly it doesn't seem to be in Harland and and Wilkinson.
