Notes
Note 1

Ralph Vaughan-Williams: 'Sung by Mr Brice, a carter about 45, came from Crewkerne but now living at Stratford Tony near Salisbury, Aug 31st, 1904. He continues after the title, 'sung to Brice at Crewkerne by an old fiddler called Blind Terry?. Brice said he'd make the fiddle speak.'

Note 2

Chris Wildridge - 'The text is not entirely clear as to the order of the lines in the verses. Palmer suggests a different final chorus using the last four lines of Verse 5. The manuscript only notes four verses but there are additional lines which suggest they fit into the verses in the manner given above.'
