Vic Gammon sings a song called, 'Early, early all in the spring' on Dearman, Gammon and Harrison's CD, 'Black Crow White Crow' (EFDSS CD11, 2005). According to the CD notes this version was collected by Vaughan Williams from "Mr Stacey of Hollycombe in Sussex in 1904". It's the song with a line about "Cartagena's shore" (if that means anything to you!).
