Can't see an existing thread about this. BBC Radio 4 11:30 on 1st Oct. I was alerted to it by an email from Bob Askew and have just listened.

Well worth a listen.

At the end someone sings a verse of The Grey Cock that I don't think I've ever heard before.
When she saw her own true love disappearing
'Tis down her pale cheeks in streams did flow.
"Oh weep no more for me dear Mary,
I am no more your Willie-o."

Then the announcer says that it was Cecilia Costello, recorded for the BBC on 30 Nov 1951. BUT it doesn't sound like her voice, and that verse isn't in the well known recording.

Anybody shed any light?
