The Cockleshells version was taught to MWR by some friends in Australia. They, in their turn, got it from Burl Ives.
Meanwhile, there is a belting version collected from Mrs Elizabeth Moggeridge (Granny Mogg) by Sharp entitled the Bonny Boat.
She lived a pretty racy life for a nineteenth century woman, bearing two illegitimate sons to two different fathers. However, despite her bad choice in men, she was a good mother and well-loved by the community in her village of Doddington. Her one pleasure was to consume large quantities of snuff. She died in 1921. Most of her songs are understandably concerned with deserted maidens.
Finally, there is an article in the FSJ 1954 by J. W. Allen, which is quite correctly renowned. It covers most versions of Waly Waly and includes 'Deep in Love, (The Effects of Love) with its Scots connection and a West Virginian version entitled 'Maggie Goddon'. I imagine this is available on line.
