Thread Name: Tune Req: The Happy Man
Subject: RE: Origins: The Happy Man
Alfred Williams didn't note a tune for the text he published. We have no way of knowing what melody James Midwinter used. There's no particular reason to think that it (or the Dorset example) was sung to the Adderbury tune or anything like it. Change "version" to "another version" (with a link) and all will be well. The DT files will also need linking and amending, of course.
