Well done Pearl for nailing this one down. You mentioned that Tony Green has, or had, a copy of the original broadsheet. Does that give any clues as to the provenance of this version? Is it a modern composition, or from a nineteenth century collection? I'm getting quite intrigued by this and it would be interesting to know more. Sorcha rightly points out that there would probably have been dozens of different street cries, but most of these would have been short - only a few cries were lengthened to make songs.
