The tune appears under the "Flower of Yarrow" title in Harburn, Northumberland musician Henry Atkinson's 1694 music manuscript collection. It is a version of "Long Cold Nights" printed by Henry Playford in Apollo's Banquet (1690) and also of the song "Sir John Fenwick's the Flower amang Them All." James Johnson printed a song called "Mary Scott the Flower of Yarrow" in his Scots Musical Museum, to a variant of Atkinson's melody.
