Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS: 'For this song and the following [I am a pretty wench], I am indebted to David Sawyer. He and Granny, who is aged eighty nine, live in a little cottage by the road side. David does all the work. He gets Granny's breakfast, cleans up, makes the bed, puts on the pot, cooks the dinner, washes the clothes once a week, and sees to everything else. He has travelled far in his time and is possessed of much useful knowledge, in addition to hi songs, which are numerous. 'You never seed a better songbook than I be, I warn,' says David. And I admit that I never did.'
