sure, ok,
but then there is one definitive version published here on mudcat, with lambs instead of land, and swain, instead of dear.
so perhaps an amendment can be made,so people are aware how it was sung before the Watersons recorded it,.
as an independent outsider, as dear rhymes with clear, and lands seems more likely than lambs, I go wIth the Saddleworth version.
    PLUS the information from Mick Haywood who has been involved in yorkshire traditional music for forty years, and would have sung and heard the song, many times in its original location.
