Shan and I recorded the song on our 2005 CD 'Parallel Strands'. Fragments of it were collected by Baring-Gould from Louisa Williams in the Tamar Valley. See our notes on the song and hear an extract here - Lavender's Green. It is a mystery how the very unsuitable 'My Dog and I' got mixed up with the innocent 'Lavender's Green'. But one's understanding is enhanced by knowing what 'Dog' was slang for in the C17th. Martin Graebe
