Found this at Ewan McColl: Industrial SongsThe Four Loom Weavers
One of the most dramatic of British Industrial songs, this ballad was first sung shortly after The Battle of Waterloo, when handloom weavers wages fell to a new low. That it was a great favourite for many years is evidenced by the great number of broadsheet prints issued under this and other titles. It is sometimes attributed to John o' Greenfield Junior, himself the character in a ppoular l9th century comic ballad. The version sung here was collected by EwanMacColl from Beckett Whtiehead of Delph, near Oldham, Lancashire.
