Mick Pearce (MCP) Lyr Add: Sing We All Merrily (16) RE: Lyr Add: Sing We All Merrily 20 Nov 25

Reinhard kindly sent me a scan of the Mr. Thomas of Stainton version from the Davenports' book so that I could put the tune up here for completeness. (Despite coming from Yorkshire, home of the brave, land of the free, it's a bit boring!).
