A song with the title: "Molly Put the Kettle On or Jenny's Baubie" was published by Joseph Dale in London in 1803.[D. M. Kassler, W. Hawes, D. W. Krummel and A. Tyson, eds, ''Music entries at Stationers' Hall, 1710–1818: from lists prepared for William Hawes'' (Aldershot: Ashgate 2004), p. 514.] It was also printed, with "Polly" instead of "Molly" in Dublin about 1790–1810 and in New York around 1803–07.[ The nursery rhyme is mentioned in [[Charles Dickens]]' ''[[Barnaby Rudge]]'' (1841), which is the first record of the lyrics in their modern form.] |
