Alfred Williams - 'Popular at Highworth and Purton. Words of W King, Purton.'
Note 2
There is a second sheet in the file which has four verses identical to those attributed to William King. They are preceeded by:
As I was walking one morning in May
I heard a young woman to sigh and to say -
'Of all the gay callings, wherever they be,
No life's like the ploughboy's in the sweet month of May.'
