Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'Again I have to refer to having obtained a song in two localities of the Vale. The first part of this was told to me by an old woman near Bampton, the second by George Hicks of Arlington, above mentioned [Shepherd come home to thy breakfast]. The song had its origin near Oxford according to references to the river, and to Ferry Hinksey Town'.'
Note 2
Verses 3 and 9 are later additions to the text, one in the original ink, one in the red ink Williams used for his editorial notes.
