Glad to know The Ian Campbell Folk group recorded in on a very early Topic E.P. several lifetimes ago - I seem to remember they made a great job of it I suppose you know the related rhymes claimed to be from the same Period From memory When Adam delved and Eve span Who was then the Gentleman or The law locks up the man or woman who steals the goose from off the common, But leaves the greater villain loose, who steals the Common off the Goose I researched the last one for a talk I gave on Folk song and history and found it had more verses Jim
