Subject: RE: Origins: All Around My Hat
Here are the links, in case anyone's interested:
19th century Broadsides:
'Green Willow' 1: 5 stanzas, 3 usually associated with 'April Morning', plus 'All around my hat' as stanza 2 and a verse recalling 'Love is Pleasing' as stanza 3.
'Green Willow' 2: 8 stanzas, as above but topped and tailed by 3 stanzas concerning 'William and Pheobe'. V3 has 'All around my cap.
'All Around my Hat', collected by George Butterworth from Edmund Knight of Washington, Sussex, in 1907. This is very similar to 'Green Willow' 2.
