Tarry Wool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyI-Bp6YiHI Here is the tune for this popular folk song and three harmonies too. Tarry Wool was first recorded by Ralph Vaughan Williams in August 1904 in the Sun Inn in Dent where Williams heard Pop Mason singing it. He was called Pop because he was a chimney sweep and his brushes would pop out of the chimney pots. (At Christmas we sing this song to the words of Hark the Herald Angels Sing.) David Burbidge.
