The second set of words is from a broadside in the Bodleian Library at Oxford university which can be viewed using the link below
CLICK HERE For more information go to www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/ballads .....choose to browse and put "fray" into the box .....by scrolling down the options you can find the full explanation of this ballad
I also search the Bodleian for the Banks of the Nile but was not able to find your version..... lets hope that someone else can. cheers
