Thanks all. I hate to admit this but I have the Palmer book but hadn't remembered seeing the song in there - I was quite convinced the song wasn't there - even had to check up now!

Anyway, it's made one more song for the dt and a little bit more info. For completeness, I have put a MIDI of the version in Everyman's Book Of Brittish Balads here in case MMario wants to grab it.

Thinking of faulty memories (or maybe it was how I heard it), I have put the chorus as I remembered it here. It is similar but with a few small changes. In this instance, for my own use, I think I prefer my possibly mis-remembered version.
