How 'traditional' is this song? Appears to be anonymous, but that not same thing [but don't let's get started on that again!]. Clearly work of one writer, steeped in the traditional convention that the astounding obligingness of all young women in 'boy meets girl' folksongs is equalled only by their astounding fertility ~~ never ever ever known to say no, or to fail to fall pregnant after only a single act of sexual congress!

Any clue as to authorship, anyone?
