Back in May 1984 Folk on Two played a recording of Bill Westway(?) singing a version with a different set of names and a slightly different timing (no elongation of the "me" in "lend me your grey mare").
I seem to remember it being said that he was a grandson of the person it was first recorded from.

We visited the National Trust forge at Sticklepath on the way back from Cornwall yesterday. Well worth stopping if you are travelling on the A30. If you are checking out from a hotel on the Lizard peninsula it is just the right distance for a first stop!
