Hi Shimrod,
They are from the vinyl version, Will post them complete if you PM me.
I agree with you about Bert's version being based on Betsy's, and yes, the notes were by Hamish Henderson.
I still find it fascinating that we owe the survival of many of the big ballads to the non-literate Travellers; the same is mainly true in Ireland. Tom Munnelly suggested that this was due to their love of a good story.
