Seventeenth century broadside versions appear in Wood, Pepys and Douce Collections but it is not given in either the 1663 or 1670 Garlands. Child states of it 'The fewest words will best befit this contemptible imitation of imitations.'

Bronson states 'The broadside designated tune will not fit the text.' Not found in oral tradition.
