The broadside print that I have appears to date from c1897 which is when it was printed by William Forth of Hull. I also have a reference to it being printed by Sanderson of Edinburgh who was printing well into the 1930s the family having been printing broadsides throughout the 19th century. (The Forth family have a similar pedigree but not in the same town). I have a note that it was a parody of 'The Blue-eyed Boy' but there are lots of songs with this title. I know the trad song of that name can't be the originator as it has nothing in common.
Forth version to follow.
