Jacob's Well seems to be a local tradition for Jon: The lyrics on Golden Hind Music cited by Joe are from the CD Hail Smiling Morn! by Nowell Sing We Clear; and the CD notes comment on their source: "Hail, Smiling Morn!, Old Foster, and Jacob's Well are from the Yorkshire pub Christmas singing traditions found in several parts of the city of Sheffield. Our versions are taken from The Joy of Christmas: Words & Music of Traditional & Local Carols, compiled and presented by Worrall Male Voice Choir, privately published, ca. 1980."
