Thanks, Malcolm. I found the references in Steve's index. The ones I hadn't seen seem to refer to a version in the Broadwood Sussex Songs, which I'm hoping to get a look at online or in person. I'm curious about the tune. It was possible to pull up an electronic version of the Sussex Archeological report that contains it, but the pages with the musical notation didn't scan well.
It seems to be a Sussex thing, but i do wonder about the custom being more widespread. I'll keep looking!
