Hi,

Make Merry in Step and Song: A Seasonal Treasury of Music, Mummer's Plays by Bronwen Forbes 2009

1. O come all you young fellows that carry a gun,
I'll have you get home by the light of the sun,
For Jimmy was a fowler and a-fowling alone
When he shot his own true love in the ruse of a swan.

Given to Audrey Coppard (English Folk Songs by FW06917 / FW 6917 / FP 917 -1956) by A. L. Lloyd and Ewan MacColl

1. Come all ye young fellows who carry a gun,
I'll have you come home by the light of the sun;
For young Jimmy was a fowler who went a-fowling alone
And he shot his own true love in the ru' of a swan.
