In "The Age of Revolution in the Irish Song Tradition", Terry Moylan says:

"Colm O'Lochlainn included this entertaining piece in his second collection of ballads. His text was from a broadside by the Dublin printer Brereton and O Lochlainn dates it to around 1815."

I don't actually see that date in O'Lochlainn.
