Sorry, not from the lake District, but from Suffolk, one George Hill in 1921. Incidentally there's a version of the 'Soldier and Sailor' as sung by Harry Cox of Norfolk in 1927, on the same page. This is not the Villikins tune though, nor is it the Mare and Foal tune there given. The Mare & Foal tune has some phrases in common with the Streets of Laredo tune but this is probably just a co-incidence. |
