GUEST,DianeK Lyr Req: On Farley Mount (3) Lyr Req: On Farley Mount 05 Feb 17


The page for Farley Mount (near Winchester in Hampshire) on Wikipedia says "It is locally famous for being the subject of a folk song, 'On Farley Mount'. It featured the line
    oh on Farley Mount the clouds drift by,
    rustling the trees, on Farley mount I wonder why,
    what troubles you and I,
    blue is the sky and so are your eyes,
    oh left alone on Farley Mount.
"It is believed to date back to at least the sixteenth century and is still sung in pubs in the area."

Does anyone know where I can find this please?
