Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'I have no less than four versions of this song. Below are two [this plus Johnny Sands], which I expect will be sufficient for the average reader. They are 'satirical', and though not the best of pieces, appear to have been popular. As a rule such songs were brought in for the want of something better; or the singer fitted his piece to the mood of his audience, and introduced a variety to create 'diversion'. Obtained of George Keen, Kingsdown, near Stratton St Margaret.'
Note 2
In Verse 4 Line 2 the original text read:
And make him suck them all,
