Hi,

I think there may be an English version collected by Henry. (Henry collection No. 806) Anyone?

I don't know if this is printed:

It's of a farmer lived near Bridgwater- Collected R. Vaughan William 1913, no informant named. It begins:

It's of a farmer lived near Bridgwater,
He had two sons and one daughter dear,
And they thought it fitting to plough the ocean
To plough the raging main so clear.

Our servant man's going to wed our sister,
Our sister she has a man to wed,
But her courtship shall soon be ended,
I'll send him to his silent [bed]

It may be in Everyman's Book of English Country Songs (1979).

Don't have Danny Brazil version in Gwilym Davies Collection.

Don't have Daniel Wigg version "Female Farmer" 1907.

Anyone?
