Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS / FSUT: 'This quaint old song I discovered at Hatherop. I have not met with it elsewhere. Words obtained of Edward Griffin.'
Note 2
In Verse 3 Lines 2 and 4 the original text read:
Now John was not much of a drunkard,
And Jane was not much of a glutton;
In addition there is a second name, Thomas Betterton, who may have lived at Hatherop. He is not listed for any other song collected by Williams.
