Note Scarlet W. have their own mark in this song in the end! This may be a variant of a 17th century ballad by Martin Parker of London, The Wooing Maid. The Wooing Maid, which was sung to the tune If 'be the dad on't was printed on a broadside which was entered in the Stationers' Register June 18, 1636 by Thomas Lambert. Later versions are definitely similar to an early 19th century ballad, The Old Maid's Last Prayer (circa 1825).* The Poor Auld Maid was in Greig's Folk Songs of the North-East (1914). The song is known in Ireland as The Black Chimney Sweeper, because in the last verse a chimney sweep marries the old maid "for pity, And ever since he's got her, he vows that he'll keep her, And now she's in the arms of her black chimney sweeper." Sam Henry lists other titles as: Come All You True Lovers, Don't Let me Die an Old Maid, I Long to be a Wedding, Sister Sally (the sister is sometimes named Sally) and The Spinster's Lament. Other variants and alternate titles (from Folksongs of Britain and Ireland) include: Auld Maid in a Garret, The Auld Maid's Lament. Historical note: It was one thing to be an old maid, but after a woman had been an old maid a while she was referred to as a "thornback."
