Cockney parodie van een song uit eenakter The Wandering Minstrel, voor het eerst opgevoerd in 1834. Grootste succes van Sam Cowell, de meest populaire Londense music-hallkomediant halfweg de 19de eeuw. Roud #271. Stephen Foster gebruikte deze tune in 1858 (in The Great Baby Show). Varianten hiervan (ook tekstueel) vonden hun weg in The Nightingale (One Morning In May), Still I Love Him (Roud #654) en The Bold Grenadier (zie telkens daar).
