The song is also known as "The Noble Fox Hunting" (recorded by M. Wyndham-Read and by the Wayfarers)
A slightly different version was recorded by Brian Dewhurst ("The Noble Duke of Buckingham's Hounds").

That's pretty well the version which I learned in my local folk club before I had even heard of The Watersons (a VERY long time ago), there is a slightly different text in Garners Gay

A friend wanted to sing a song she knew but could only vaguely remember the tune. I'm sure I've got it on a CD somewhere but can't remember which one. I've had a look in the lyric search and it seems it was recorded as Dido, Bendigo by the Watersons but I know I've not got the CD this is on. I presume this song goes by a number of titles so it might be on a CD I've got but with a different name (The Noble Foxhunt doesn't ring a bell with me either).

Can Mudcatters suggest other recordings of this song (I'm sure it's by and English group, on a CD and it's been available in the past 5 to 10 years)
