Hi Rozza

Have a look at www.yorkshirefolksong.net I think the provenance is there

from memory you would be correct in saying it is not a Carol from Sheffield but was a great song for the area which has become part of the Carolling Tradition

Sheffield Ramblers, now can you tell me did you have a song book?
Looking for Yorkshire songs of course and earliest "Barnsley Anthem" references? what songs did you sing?
