Enjoy this live excerpt from Apocryphonia's October concert, 'Tracing the Tunes, Ralph Vaughan Williams and the English Folk Song', in celebration of the composer's 150th Birthday.
This song was printed on broadsides in both England and Ireland in the early and late 1800s. Printers included J. Catnach of London, who printed it sometime between 1813 and 1838. Copies of these can be found at the Bodleian Library.
This version was collected by Vaughan Williams in 1905 in Norfolk and appeared in The Journal of the Folk Song Society in 1906.
