The sets in Come All Ye Bold Miners (1978) and Folk Song in England vary in some respects beside the inclusion of different verses, and there are what appear to be mistakes in the DT file (now there's a surprise). The tune file referred to in the DT is a generic example rather than one actually found with this song, and the provisional attribution to Hornsby is presented as definitive. Hmm...
