Joan's Ale was New

We were treated to a fantastic parody of this song which was focused on the dangers of fracking. When I went looking for the original I found this reference in a 1892 Gentlemen's Magazine to it being as old as 1594 (under 'Jone's Ale was Newe'):

This book uses 'Joan' and links the song to Cromwell, but the origin is Elizabethan:
