"The song now appears in the New Penguin Book of English Folk Song (EFDSS) 2012... sung by Robert Hard 1888 collected by Sabine Baring - Gould in Devon"

Indeed, Ray, and it's a great version. Jackie Oates used to lead it with our 'Liberty to Choose' band. I like the last verse with its encouragement towards harmony - definitely a good idea right now. It's worth reading Martin Graebe's book about Baring-Gould, which has some interesting stuff on Robert Hard amongst other things.
