- Comments
- The title and words of the ballad were updated in 19th Century broadside publications with the destination for transported convicts changed from Virginia to Australia, according to the contemporary practice, and the monarch changed to Queen Victoria. Australia was collected as Number 1488 in the Roud Index of Folk Songs.
