Note 1

Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'The 'Bonny labouring boy' is a ballad of a type that was commonly sung at the fairs, and was popular in many parts of the Thames Valley. I heard of it, but failed to obtain the words till recently, when they were related to me by John Webley, Arlington, Bibury.'

Note 2

There are minor punctuation differences between the Ms and printed versions.
