Steve,
There's an Irish broadside by Haly, printer, Hanover Street, Cork. Is c. 1834 a reasonable date? It begins:
Molly Bawn
A story, a story to you I will relate,
Of a young female, whose fortune was great,
She walked out one evening, she walked out alone,
And she stopped under a bower a shower to shun.
Young jemmy being coming with a gun in his hand . . .
