Probably written in 1789 then. It appears in The Roving Wheelwright's Garland printed at Alnwick in 1791 and was subsequently printed by Marshall of Newcastle, David Bass of Newcastle, c1800-1811, and of course by John Pitts of London. I have copies of the last 2.

The 'yeo, yeo, yeo' chorus of course is typical of the Dibdins but it could just as easily be by an imitator. One of my copies states 'sung by Miss Tryer'
