Can't find the above ref. to Maud's collected version in the FSJ / JEFDSS index for up to 1950! Charlie Bate (Cornish traditional singer) was always proud that he had been given the song by Phil Tanner - and it was Charlie singing it on the Caedmon 'Fok Sound of Britain' series (Songs of Ceremony), which was the source for several revival groups that recorded it.
