So, would one class "Yarmouth Town" with Jack the Jolly Tar/Do Me Ama?

In "Yarmouth," the landlord's daughter is using a string to set up an assignation with a sailor.

In "Jack the Jolly Tar," it's an upper-class setting things up with her lover, and Jack overhears and deceives the woman by taking the string meant for another.

Same song?

As far as I can see above, we haven't found any traditional sources for "Yarmouth Town" - or have we?

There being no string involved, I see no tie (couldn't resist) between this song and Cruising 'Round Yarmouth, other than the coincidence of geography.
