After checking out the text of Lesley's version of False Lamkin and re-listening to the Cambridge Crofters, there are several corrections to my original post. These bring it much closer to Lesley's version:

Vs3 & 4 - "other" should be "elder" (my mishearing)

V4 - should probably be "a-trying to weep"

V6 - "a-coming" should be "a-going" (cut & paste error)

V8 - "pride of the crop" should be "flower on the flock" (my mishearing). (Lesley has ""flower of the flock")

V9 - "Bring" should be "Fetch" (cut & paste error)

V13 - "the nurse" should be "his bones" (cut & paste error)

7 out of 10, must try harder.

The backing is guitar, mandolin, fiddle and whistle, apart from V12 (There's blood ...), which is sung a capella.

Wassail! V
