Didn't Steeleye also record 'Our Captain cried "all hands"' to the 'to be a pilgrim' tune?

John Shepherd (Albion Dance Band etc) is the organist in a local church and I remember picking out the strains of 'To be a farmer's boy' in the recessional one harvest time.

One of my favourite songs at the moment was written by Mal Brown, who used the tune of 'Dear Lord and Father' for a song about the Crimean War.
