This is the first Somerset folk song that Cecil Sharp heard. It was sung by John England, who was the gardener of Charles Marson at the vicarage in Hambridge. Marson was a friend of Sharp's and after hearing this song the two men embarked on a five year song-collecting trip around Somerset. This recording is sung by Opus Anglicanum.
