I'm sure that the Earl o' Murray sang it your way. I took the text from Norm Pellegrini's notes. I don't know if the "lonesome farmer" line was given to him by Fleming, or if he transcribed the text himself, straight from the Lady Mondegreen's mouth.

By the way, have you read Sandy Ives' fine study of the Earl o' Murray -- Sandy's latest book? Good stuff!
