Seeking works for "Earl of Totnes"
The only recordong I know of is per Robin & Barry Dransfield, on The Rout of the Blues. Unfortunately There are many words I can't quite get. The following is the best I could do...
The feast was over at Techam Hall And the wassail bowl had been served to all The Earl of Totnes rose from his place The chanters came in to say the grace.
But scarce was ended this holy rite There stepped from the crowd a valiant knight His armor bright and his visage brown His name was Sir Arthur de Jump a-noun
Good Earl of Totness approached a me My fleetest courser from Barbary And whether good or ill betide A wager with you I mean for to ride
No Barbary Courser do I own But I have brought the Earl of Devonshire home I'll write you a wager by land or by sea
