Steve Gardham	New Book: Folk Song in England (2094* d)	RE: New Book: Folk Song in England	26 Jul 18
Vic, Roud 2311. Broadside at Bodleian Harding B25 (243) 'A New Song called the Bold Weaver' (No imprint). Bert's version appears to be a composite of the 3 extant versions, the broadside, a manuscript American version from a whaling log c1845-48, and O. J. Abbott's Canadian version already mentioned. With a couple of extra stanzas which may or may not be Bert's. Steven Woodbury gave me a comparison of all 4 versions verse for verse written in 2015. As you would probably surmise some of the extended metaphors appear to be Bert's (or SOE)
