It was the custom in Scotland for lovers to break a silver coin prior to a necessary separation, each keeping a piece as a pledge to be faithful during absence.

"I love my love in secret" was contained in the Northumbrian music manuscript collection of John Smith, dated 1752, unfortunately now lost.

The contents were copied by 19th century folk-music collector John Stokoe in 1887, when the manuscript was in the possession of Lewis Proudlock.

Stokoe's volume Northumbrian Minstrelsy had been printed five year prior, and his interest in Smith’s ms. demonstrates Stokoe's continuing commitment to older Northumbrian music.

The tune was also entered into the large 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-instrumentalist John Rook, of Waverton, near Wigton, Cumbria, as "I love my lass in secret".

-The music itself was in print in 1847, Rosenbaum states, and both the tune and the accompanying skit are presumed by him to have been in oral circulation at the time. Bayard (1981) thinks the whole melody may be an "American amalgam," as he was unable to locate a recognizable version in British Isles traditions.
+It was the custom in Scotland for lovers to break a silver coin prior to a necessary separation, each keeping a piece as a pledge to be faithful during absence.
-The second strain became a "floater," according to him, and appears in otherwise unrelated tunes, and he speculates a portion of the first part may itself have been a 'floater' that became attached to the tune.
+"I love my love in secret" was contained in the Northumbrian music manuscript collection of John Smith, dated 1752, unfortunately now lost.
-In Francis O'Neill's '''Waifs and Strays of Gaelic Melody''' (1922) "Arkansas Traveler" is regarded as having a 'presumable' Irish history and three tunes are given which are proffered as in part ancestral to the American melody. O’Neill says: “Vying in popularity with ‘Turkey in the Straw’, another American favorite claims our affection.
+The contents were copied by 19th century folk-music collector John Stokoe in 1887, when the manuscript was in the possession of Lewis Proudlock.
-Famous in song and story, its origin has baffled investigation. An exhaustive research conducted by Dr. H.C. Mercer, an official of Buck's County Historical Society (Doylestown, Pa) relating to its history and antecedents failed of its purpose.
+Stokoe's volume Northumbrian Minstrelsy had been printed five year prior, and his interest in Smith’s ms. demonstrates Stokoe's continuing commitment to older Northumbrian music.
-All lines of inquiry extending to Kentucky, Arkansas, and Louisiana, ended in contradiction, and uncertainty. Furthermore, the quaint dialogue between the ‘Traveler’ and the backwoods fiddler was based on nothing more substantial than a fertile imagination.
+The tune was also entered into the large 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-instrumentalist John Rook, of Waverton, near Wigton, Cumbria, as "I love my lass in secret".
-The opening paragraph of Dr. Mercer's essay published in the Century Magazine—On the track of the Arkansas Traveler—is well worth quoting:
-<blockquote>
-''Sometime about the year 1850 the American musical myth''
-''known as "The Arkansas Traveler" came into vogue among''
-''fiddlers. It is a quick reel tune with a backwoods story''
-''talked to it while played, that caught the ear at sideshows''
-''and circuses, and sounded over the trodden turf of fair ''
-''grounds. Bands and foreign-bred musicians were above ''
-''noticing it, but the people loved it, and kept time to it,''
-''while tramps and sailors carried it across the seas to vie ''
-''merrily in Irish cabins with The Wind that Shakes the Barley''
-''and The Soldier's Joy.''
-</blockquote>
