There's a Scottish version from Northern Ireland in the Sam Henry Collection. See Huntington Songs of the People p269. From George Graham, Cross Lane, Coleraine, from his grandfather's grandfather of Ballymoney. The Rambling Suiler on the opposite page is also related if only in plot. It's obviously a marrying of the Rambling Sailor/Soldier/ Comber format with the Gaberlunzie plot.
