Note 1
Williams, Alfred: WGS: 'This favourite of the oldest of the old men of the Thames valley I have often met with. The variations are many, but unimportant. At Standlake, Oxfordshire, the first verse mentioned three butchers instead of two. Obtained of Thomas King, Castle Eaton, who recently died in his 99th year.'
