The title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, which he wrote c. 1800. Begone dull care, I prithee be gone from me! Begone dull care you and I shall never agree. Long time hast thou been tarrying here and feign thou wouldst me kill. But in faith, dull care, thou never shalt have thy will. O'Farrell's version is set as a duet. Howe (Complete Preceptor for the Accordeon), 1843; p. 8 (appears as &quot;Kinlock&quot;). Kerr (Merry Melodies), vol. 3; No. 399, p. 44.
