This is another song from the remarkable duo RP Weston and Bert Lee, writers of some wonderful music hall/variety material in the early part of the last century. It's included in Roy Palmer's book 'A Ballad History of England' where you can find the dots. The song was probably published originally by Francis, Day and Hunter since they put out most of Weston and Lee's stuff
