Robbins' 'Secular Lyrics of the 14th and 15th Centuries', #48 and #49, then the song disappeared for a little over 3 1/2 centuries. The earliest copy now known is one from an Edinburgh songbook of 1832, reprinted in Logan's 'The Pedlar's Pack of Ballads and Songs'. A slightly earlier version from a Scots MS of the early 19th century, is to published in the future, and the editors would be grateful if anyone could supply them an early tune for the song.
