The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes (called "The Northern Minstrel's Budget") which he published c. 1800. See "Joy be wi' my love" from the Scottish McFarlan manuscript (c. 1740) for a possible precursor. Felton is a village in Northumberland midway between Morpeth and Alnwick, while lonnen is a dialect word in the north of England for a land or road. Whelan's History, Topography, and Directory of Northumberland (1855) states that in the mid-19th century "Felton comprises an area of 12,830 acres. Population in 1851, 1,574 souls. The soil of this parish is various but chiefly incumbent upon strong clay, and is well suited for grain crops. There are some coal seams here, but they are not much worked." The village is approximately 9 miles south of Alnwick on the River Coquet, over which a stone bridge was built, followed by a second bridge in modern times to accommodate increased traffic. It was in Felton that English barons met in 1215 to plan the transfer of their allegiance from King John to King Alexander of Scotland, a decision that greatly annoyed the former, with the result that he had the village burned down as punishment. Stokoe and Bruce remark: "There is a jingling rhyme fitted to this tune to be found in Sir Cuthbert Sharp's Bishoprick Garland, but it is there entitled 'Pelton Lonnin'. Pelton is a village in County Durham located about two miles to the northwest of Chester-le-Street.

-is a popular session jig. O'Neill ('''Irish Folk Music''', p. 94) says: "Dr. Petrie refers to it as a Munster jig, yet none whom the writer heard play it in any style were natives of that province. In its original form of two strains it was one of Jackson's jigs, and Dr. Petrie's opinion receives corroboration by finding a simple version of the tune in Dr. Joyce's '''Old Irish Folk Airs and Songs''', just published." O'Neill remarks again in '''Irish Minstrels and Musicians''' (1913, p. 183) the tune had been ascribed to the famous 18th century County Limerick composer Walker 'Piper' Jackson. He did not specify where he obtained this information, but "Jackson" is listed as the composer in Elias Howe's c. 1866 '''Musician's Omnibus No. 3''' (p. 220). Paul de Grae (notes to MOI/DMI, 2017) is of the opinion that Howe's version of "Cherish the Ladies" formed the basis for Chief O'Neill's more elaborate six-part one, as the first two stains are "almost exactly identical, and the Howe/Ryan's third part is very like O'Neill's (or rather, Gillan's) fourth part." O'Neill also printed the first two strains of his "Cherish the Ladies" independent of his other strains under the title "[[Humors of Cappa (2) (The)]]."
