Thanks for the response.

Helen, I love the idea of Farewell to Devon. Maybe if I played it here we might find out more about origins. If it turns out to be trad. or anon, we could record it and credit you with passing it on to us. As to the Cornish song mentioned, I do have it in an old song book, and it is a good song.

Lovely to 'hear' all the Westcountry accents coming out in the forum! cheers
