Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS / FSUT: 'Very old and popular. It was an especial favourite at harvest homes around Cricklade and Highworth, and was loved by men and woman of all ages. 'Wassail' Harvey, who was ninety when he died last year, used to sing a slightly different version of this, with a chorus:
Kymanara kilty karo,
Kymanara kino,
With my ram stam famma diddle,
Aribona king kang,
Kymanara kino.
The present copy I obtained of Mrs E Weaver, Ashton Keynes.'
Note 2
However, in 'Little brown frog' Wt. 361 the chorus is written:
With my rigdam bom a diddle kino,
Kimanara guilty caro,
Kimanara kino;
With my ram stam fam a diddle,
Aribona king kang,
Kimanara kino.
