Subject: RE: Widdicome Fair - Peter Who?
No, indeed, Guest Peter ~~ when I used the word 'definitive' above I explicitly said that it wasn't a word properly to be used of any traditional artefact, & gave alternative Devon versions like Jon Raven's nonsense "Oor Bagboor..." chorus. But, as Georgian Silver points out, the Baring Gould one is that which even Devon schoolchildren are taught to regard as the 'traditional' local one.
