Lancashire Pace-Egging Songs
Annie G. Gilchrist, Cecil J. Sharp, Frank Kidson and J. A. Fuller-Maitland
Journal of the Folk-Song Society Vol. 2, No. 9 (1906), pp. 231-236
But the first of the two Lancashire Pace-Egging Songs does belong— 1 believe exclusively — to Northern England, even if as much may not be claimed for the tune ; and the second has been quaintly localised and adapted as a pace-egging song at a period farther back than any of the village fathers of Overton or Sunderland Point can recall.
8. Beg Your Leave sung by Jolly-Boys (Pace Eggers) from Overton Village, Sunderland Point, Easter 1906
9. WHEN JOHN'S SAIL WAS NEW. Sung by Jolly-Boys from Overton Village.
Sunderland Point, Easter, 1906.
