Brian,

Another way to find out is to use the main (Carpenter) search engine: https://www.dhi.ac.uk/carpenter/ginit.jsp?src=box2pac2.xml&id=p04803.0

This is the Fisher item: A Bunch of Green Holly and Ivy. Blunt has a copy with the same refrain with music. You can search: VWML Song Index with title or RN12 with title. It seems clear that the Fisher text was from "Miscellaneous Field Typescripts and Manuscripts" and not a recording. Every recording may not be on the site yet but if you use the online catalogue that should tell you if there is a recording.

Some items are not listed properly -if you search RN12 Carpenter - not every item comes up. I had to search "True Love of Mine" to find one item.
