'Gershon Legman gives an almost identical version with a different chorus from 'Choyce Drollery Songs and Sonnets' - never before printed (London 1656)'

Jim, I'm confused here. Not difficult I know, but what is identical to what? Are you saying you have seen something that resembles 'A Tinker's Life' above? If so, can you point us to it please? I don't have that particular Randolph volume of which I presume you mean 'Roll me in your Arms' not 'Roll me Over' which is another book. I have the second volume.

Better still could you post the text here please?
