The music used by Lawrence is based on a Ukrainian folk-song "Oi ne khody, Hrytsju", often ascribed to the Ukrainian songstress Marusia Churai. It first appeared in the 1812 vaudeville "The Cossack-Poet" by the Italian composer Catterino Cavos. This melody is unknown before Cavos, and is assumed that it was written by him.
The text of the Ukrainian folk song "Oi ne khody, Hrytsiu" was first published in English translation in London in 1816. A Polish translation first appeared in 1822 in Lviv and a German translation appeared in 1848. Evidence exists to the songs popularity in France (1830's), Czech, Slovak lands, Belgium and the United States. - Published by
