Date collected: Between 1913 and 1916

A song which appeared on countless broadsides and which, probably as a result often appears in oral tradition.  English versions abound, but it has rarely been found elsewhere.

For a Gloucestershire version of this song with a tune, see http://glostrad.com/pretty-ploughboy-the/.
