Talk:Wha'll be King but Charlie?

Dating the lyrics and authorship
From what I can gather, the tune is much older than the lyrics. The best references I can find for dating the the lyrics show an unknown author but there are references for Naine, albeit without dates. I postulate that the lyrics and tune were already known but Nairne may have been the first to widely publish it. I am still trying to dig up better references.
