Once again I forgot to say, and I'm sorry about that, the transcription of "Queen" Caroline Hughes' text I provided came from a recording made by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger and Charles Parker in 1963. It was included in MacColl and Seeger's book "Travellers' Songs From England and Scotland - Songs collected in 1962-1976" from 1977 which had been reissued as a CD together with the original field recordings by Musical Traditions in 2015.

The later Peter Kennedy recording was made in Caroline Hughes' caravan near Blandford, Dorset on April 19, 1968 and was released on an album called "Songs of the Travelling People - Music of the Tinkers, Gipsies and Other Travelling People of England, Scotland and Ireland" (1994) Saydisc Records CD-SDL 407.
