Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'Songs satirising the weaker sex are rather abundant. If we had the views of the ladies concerning their tyrants and detractors they might have proved none the less sarcastic and damaging. It is possible too, that the castigations would have been equally well merited. Words of William Brown, Driffield. The song has been found in several parts of England.'
Note 2
Verse 4 is heavily covered in blue crayon, and does not appear in the WGS version.
