HiThe Dubliners' version came from Ewan McColl & Peggy Seeger's "The Singing Island", published in 1960. The song was collected in 1953 (I think) from Sam Larner in Norfolk.
Broadside versions of the song exist from circa 1800 at least and there are other variant versions collected in various parts of England and also (I think) Ireland this century.
Cheers!
IanPS there's lots of other threads about this one, put Wild Rover into the filter and set for 2 years!
