Subject: RE: Lyr Add: American Stranger
The Roud Index (no.1081) has added quite a few references to both versions from tradition and broadside prints since Bruce's post (nearly 4 years ago, now); they all seem to be English or Scottish. King George turns up a fair bit.

Beside the text from Ord that Becky mentions, a set noted by Baring Gould in 1891 was posted (with a translation into Cornish!) at Lyr/Tune Add: ESTREN/STRANGER.
