Tradsinger	Origins: George Collins: revisited (86* d)	RE: Origins: George Collins: revisited	22 Jun 15
Coming back to Jacquey Gabriel's version and a possible derivation from the Enos White version, 2 thing mitigate against that. One is that Jacquey sang "Giles" and Enos sang "George", Now the George versions in the UK seems confined to Hampshire, and elsewhere in the UK it is Giles. Secondly, the naming of the lady as Alice agrees with some other versions, including USA versions, but there's no Alice in the White version. So that seems to tip the balance in favour of it being from the tradition rather than derived from the revival. Tradsinger
