Moeran collectd the song in July, 1915. Cecil Sharp turned up a somewhat different text and tune from Thomas Taylor, Ross, Hereford.
As might be expected, Waterson's version varies slightly from Moeran, his source (probably via MacColl). MacColl's rendition appeared on the album "The Manchester Angel."
