I get the impression that this is a traditional song found in a songbook edited by Jon Raven, but I don't think he wrote the song. I don't know that for sure, though.

There's a YouTube recording of "Wedgefield Wakes" from an album titled Songs of a Changing World, by Jon Raven, Nic Jones, and Tony Rose.

The recording does not identify which of these three is the singer on this cut. The cut as a chorus, something like, "With a clickin' and a clackin'..." Anybody know the chorus?
