'Your copy of the "Song for Every Season". The unsigned ones are the rare ones!!'
I'll have you know that joke is copyright Bob Copper (ho! ho!)

'They are as they were for the Copper family. Or am I being naive... :-)'
No Will, definitely not naive - as per Brasser and later, Jim Copper. Although Brasser and Tom were 'collected' by Mrs Kate Lee in the late 1890s there's no evidence that her collecting influenced their subsequent renditions. I can't say if her notations of tunes and lyrics as per the first journal of The Folk Song Society are exactly what they sung, but we can be certain that Brasser's labour of love songbook of the 1920s was what HE sung...likewise Jim's several copies of his songbook are invariable (is that a word?) in the sameness of their lyrics. The tunes are as per Jim and Bob with inevitable very slight changes over the years.
