Its not in the book I have. However, I have now found a proper reference for it - I was looking at the copyright pages before, rather than the list of sources, fool that I am."From the manuscript of John Bell (born 1783):Collection of the local tunes as played in Northumberland>, published by G. M. Polworth, Folk Songs of Northumberland, University of Newcastle Adult Education Department 1966, p 33"
The complete list of songs is pretty good for such a small book. Back in 1971 it cost me 48p - round about 75c!

The Gower WassailThis was published in 1971 and, I seem to recall, was the source book for a series of BBC Schools Music programmes. There was certainly an LP produced at the same time of all of these songs and I think the main vocals were by Sue Harris, with school children for the chorus and some of the songs - my memory fades at that distance, I'm afraid.
