Julie Henigan's words (she was the one who cited Roy Palmer) match Liam's Brother's above, but it looks like Waterson:Carthy had their hands on Mrs. Cooper's text Malcolm gives here: they've got the Maypole tree verse, and it really does sound like "royals" rather than "loyal". (I find with their rendition I focus on the music more than the words, Julie Henigan's is simpler and more transparent, thus my delay in connecting them!).

So, thanks, that's three tunes now, and I'm saved from transcription. The two above are clearly relations of one another (but do you mean a "c" rather than a "C" in the last line of the second tune, Malcolm?). The Cornish one is rather different.
