Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'This is not as ancient as many in our series, though it was as popular as most: it probably dates from the early part of the nineteenth century. Its quality is above that of the common ballad rhyme, a merit that never fails to be appreciated by the rustics whenever the song is heard, which is but rarely at this time. I have heard the piece in many villages: the words I obtained of George Grubb, Ewen, and formerly of South Marston, Wiltshire.'
Note 2
In the chorus to Verse 2 Lines 1 and 2 the original text read:
Bitter across the wild moor.
