Sam Bennett was the fiddler for various revivals of the Ilmington morris between the 1890s and 1950s. I believe he also played for Bampton Morris at some time in the 1930s when "Jinky" Wells was unavailable. Local legend has it that he would find out what the visiting folklorist wanted then tell him, "You come back in a couple of weeks, Sir, and I'll have it all ready for you". Which of course would involve a further "treating" in the local hostelry.

If Mary Spence's version was published in 1933, it is just conceivable that Bennet might have "tailored" a version specially for someone collecting from him in 33-35.

Or it may be genuinely traditional in Warwickshire.
