Tradsinger	Origins: George Collins: revisited (86* d)	RE: Origins: George Collins: revisited	21 Jun 15
In reply to Richie's posting above. I knew Jacquey Gabriel quite well although I have not seen her for a number of years. She was (is) a very fine singer and it was me who introduced her to Mike Yates as she knew some songs from her father, including Giles Collins. We asked her where her father had learnt the song and she was not sure, but I agree it is possible that it derives from the Hampshire version sung by Enos White and collected by Bob Copper. IMHO the question mark will have to remain as her father might have been of an age to have heard it at a folk club or on an LP. As a bonus, you can hear Mrs Tradsinger and me singing the Enos White version here. (track 7). Tradsinger
