Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms: 'For the following two fragments I am indebted to my old friend, Charles Tanner, of Bampton. They were probably used by the Morris dancers in conjugation with their music at the Morris games. There is a more modern version of 'Oh dear what can the matter be'. I give the piece exactly as I heard it.'
Williams, Alfred: WGS / FSUT: 'Old Morris fragment.'
Note 2
Both this and 'Then my love and I'll be married' Ox 221 appear on the same sheet in the manuscript and follow one another in FSUT, p 200 and 201.
