Song was very common on farms in the East Riding. I have seen a few versions from Lincolnshire, North and West Ridings but it's nothing like as common there. I did hear from some singers that there was a version with more than 50 verses which I can believe with such a catalogue song. There's at least one version on The Yorkshire Garland website www.yorkshirefolksong.net. I published a couple of versions in 1982 in An East Riding Songster. There are 3 people on the scene currently who sing different versions and different to all those mentioned above, John Greaves (N Riding), Jim Eldon and myself.
