<P> In later German sources the song is reproduced under the title of Heinrich und Liese and credited as a folk song from Hesse . In the 19th century it was sung as a commercium song and printed in the 1858 Kommersbuch . The renowned song collection Deutscher Liederhort (3 volumes, 1856--1894) edited by Ludwig Erk and Franz Magnus Böhme includes the song, relating it also to the Flemish song Mooy Bernardyn ("Wat doet gy in het groene veld?"). The German song became even more widespread when it was included in the famous Wandervogel songbook Der Zupfgeigenhansl in 1909 . </P> <P> In George Korson's "Pennsylvania Songs and Legends" (1949) there is a song with meter closer to the modern English version and beginning thus: </P> <Dl> <Dd> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <P> Wann der Tschock awer en Loch hot Liewer Georgie Liewer Georgie, Wann der Tschock a wer en Loch hot?
