yes, and that is what I am suggesting too.
however all traditional songs were written by somebody.
if the song predates Sharps hearing it in Norfolk,it didnt necessarily originate there.
IMO it probably originated further north,The song is a composition perhaps 18/ 19 century.
[once again you misquote]have I misquoted you before.
