Dated from examination of text and style.
'Copies of this popular song can always be had at the Poet's Box, Overgaie [sic], Dundee'.
First line reads: One night as I sat in a cup of cold water, / Nearly frozen to death by the heat of the sun, / I read in the papers a case of man slaughter / Which caused the salt tears from my poor nose to run.
