The DT(7) version - one of the ones Malcolm added no information for - looks like it was derived from one collected by Sharp and published in EFSSA, 1932, from Louisa Chisholm, Woodridge, Va, Sep 1916. It's No.27 in Bronson.

RG says in his note: "This is how I remember it; it may well be a pastiche of several versions", so that may account for the differences later in the tune. I assume RG either started from this version or from hearing someone who had started from this one.

Dick or Susan should be able to tell you who RG was.
