A song describing the seduction of a woman, from the perspective of the jingalo (a term for a gypsy, derived from the corruption of the Italian "zingaro").
The publication date above is Sharp's "One Hundred English Folksongs". He is listed here as a co-lyricist because he bowdlerised some of the traditional lines which he notes "were rather coarse". - Licensing
