Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'This too figures in 'Traditional tunes' by Mr Frank Kidson. Here it was a favourite song of Mr Warren's father, who was a thatcher, a very intelligent villager, and a fine singer. A few hours before his death, a neighbour told him that he could not sing the 'Indian lass' and to the surprise of the those at hand, he sat up in bed and sang it through perfectly, in a good tone of voice. He died the same night. Words obtained of Edwin Warren, South Marston.'
