Notes

Williams, Alfred: Ms: An old song, probably imperfect, and puzzling in its relations. The story, or circumstances, are suggested rather than told. When I first heard it I confessed I did not understand the scheme of the piece but my informant readily pointed out to me the chief facts. They were all sufficiently evident to him. Mr Frank Kidson has a version of the song in his Traditional tunes which he says was obtained on the Yorkshire coast. Our copy has an additional stanza and a totally different opening. Instead of Newrion in Mr Kidson';s version, Rainbow is found. I obtained my copy of David Sawyer the sheep shearer, late of Ogbourne, Wiltshire.
