Note 1
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'Below are given two versions of an ancient and interesting song, obtained from points about twenty miles distant from each other. 'March away' is the best copy. This was given me by David Sawyer, who sang it at Ogbourne, and Bishopstone, Wiltshire.'
Williams, Alfred: FSUT: 'An ancient piece, existing in several versions. Copy of David Sawyer, who sang it at Ogbourne, and Bishopstone, Wiltshire.'
Note 2
The other song referred to into Ms / WGS note is Yonder sits a pretty little creature collected from Charles Tanner.
Note 3
In the version published in WGS verses 3 and 5 are omitted while the FSUT version matches the Ms.
