Subject: RE: Help: Unusual Devon songs
Have you got "The Devonshire Farmer's Daughter", about a girl who gets the better of a highwayman? I've got in a compilation double-CD "The Best of English Folk" sung by George Deacon with harmonium accompaniment MArion Ross.

Of course, it's probably not from Devon - I have a field recording made in Suffolk of a debased version of the same song which is called "The Rich Farmer From "!!!.

Still, if you want it I'll post the words here.

Wassail! V
