Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'A well known old ballad, the popular version of a still earlier piece. It is said to have been published and sung by the Turks at Constantinople. Common to the whole of the Thames Valley, though never sung now. I obtained my version of 'Wassail' Harvey, of Cricklade, and Shadrach Haydon, of Hatford, Faringdon.'
Williams, Alfred: FSUT: 'A well known old ballad, the popular version of a still earlier piece. It is said been thought to refer to the period of the Crusades.
