We too sang it at Northampton Town & County School about 1942. It was in a book, which may well be that enquired about by Judy Magner above, called National Song Book compiled by Walford Davies who was Master of the King's Musick: it was our joint favourite in the book, along with Ho-Ro My Nut Brown Maiden {drift alert!} whose fine pipe-tune was one of the "Tunes Of Glory" mentioned by Alec Guinness's Highland colonel to be played at his predecessor John Mills' funeral in the fine film of that name.
