A Scottish version of the tune, fairly close save for the ending measure of each part, is to be found as an untitled slip jig (No. 3, p. 33--see "Slip Jig (18)") in Rev. Patrick MacDonald's Collection of Highland Vocal Airs (1784), in a section of 'North Highland Reels and Country Dances'. Collector Patrick Weston Joyce prints it as “Just in the height of her bloom” and gives the following words:

So beware of those boarding school lasses,
And never by beauty be led:
The girl that all others surpasses
Is one that can work for her bread.

Breathnach says the tune is related to the “Munster Rake (The)” and “Drunken Gauger (1)” family of tunes.
