Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS / FSUT: 'There were half a dozen or more songs of this kind prevalent about the Thames Vale formerly. They were very popular, especially at the inns, and all the company joined in the repetitions which served as chorus: the effect may be very well imagined. Words of Mrs Martin, Bampton Buildings.'
Note 2
The chorus was amended from the following format:
Henny went chick-a-chack,
Cocky went cock-a-te-too
Each animal was given the following diminutives: Ducky, Goosey, Doggy, Piggy, Sheepy, Cowy and its associated noise was, where there are variations: swish-a-swash, grunt-a-grunt.
