Roy Palmer images several variations with the song in his post ‘The Weaver in the Love’, Folk music Log , 1977, but Really don’t envision the guy lay some thing together truthfully. New broadside ballad “Tend to the new Weaver and you can Foundation the new Chambermaid” Rawlinson range, Bodleian, in addition to Pepys Ballads , III, 132, 1987, is printed from the Phillip Brooksby, 1671-1685 (their address following transform).
