Notes

Note 1
Ralph Vaughan-Williams - 'Collected at Salisbury Almshouses, Castle Street, 1904. Mr Leary came from Hampshire.'
Note 2
Chris Wildridge - 'In verse 1 the text gives 'To commence the hard contest' once which is followed by a series of dashes. Palmer interprets this as a double repetition to retain the scansion. Palmer also alters the order of verses 2 and 3, probably to improve the structure of the song.'
