Another song from Joe Offer's collection.
The information with this song is:

Source: Lucy Broadwood and J A Fuller Maitland. 1893, English County Songs, Leadenhall Press, London

Notes:
Words and tune from A.H. Frere, Esq: sung by a nurse towards the end of the 18th century

Roud: 117 (Search Roud index at VWML)

As with most of the songs from this collection I have made my own chord progression to fit the score.

The word "cruddle" means curdle.
