The air was entered into the 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-instrumentalist John Rook of Waverton, Cumbria. American musician M.E. Eames also included it in his 1859 copybook (p. 74), set in the key of 'D' major. "My Lodging's..." was played as a Tattoo during the American Civil War, signalling bed-time and "lights out" in the military camp.
Although the origins of the melody appear to have an English provenance, the melody has, since the late 18th and 19th centuries, been associated with Irish balladry. "My Lodging is on the Cold Ground" also can be found as tune No. 59 in the 1817 music manuscript collection of Irish language teacher and musician Patrick McGahon (Dungooley, County Louth, on the Armagh border)[2]. Irish songwriter wikipedia:Thomas_Moore’s (1779-1852) song, “The Sunflower,” is set to this air (as is his "Believe me if all those endearing young charms").
