"Hammond D.560/S.46. The tune from Ishmael Cornick (Burstock, Dorset, June 1906) and partly from Mrs. Gulliver of Combe Florey, Somerset, 1905. Cornick's text was fragmentary and his tune was four bars longer than Mrs. Gulliver's; it was,however, the better tune, so I omitted the first four bars (which were the same as the second four) and rearranged the text to fit the tune. Baring Gould published a completely rewritten version in Songs of the West, but his manuscript text, although probably touched up, agrees in outline with those of the Hammonds' two singers. (See James Reeve's The Everlasting Circle No. 72; also the Sharp fragment in The Idiom of the People No. 45.) The tune has great affinity with Bold General Wolfe in Marrowbones."
