Thread Name: English version-Farmers Daughter/Next Monday Morn.
Subject: RE: English version of Farmers Daughter
The details and some versions are in thread 49210: Chickens
In that thread Malcolm Douglas explains that Bland's song crossed to the UK, probably very soon after its first publication ca. 1878.
The Watersons-Carthy and other English groups sing it.
