Notes
Williams, Alfred: Ms: 'This quaint and amusing song is to be met with very rarely, however - in Gloucestershire - I have not heard it south of the Thames. It used to be sung at least every year at the parish gathering at Quenington, by a woman of the village, usually in response to the request of the old vicar, who was especially delighted with it. I have also quite recently heard the song mentioned at Ewen, near Cirencester. The copy was very kindly supplied me by James West, Quenington.'
