History
From the Fiddler's Companion;
The morris dance version was collected from the village of Longborough, Gloucestershire, in England's Cotswolds, but "the tune was apparently popular all over England, as a number of different songs were written to it" (Williamson, 1976). The title refers to Napoleon Bonaparte, dating the tune from the late 1700's to early 1800's.
