Well I suppose it was only in 1998 ish that I obtained the song from two separate sources - one from Tony Day who runs the unaccompanied singing session in the Middle Bar of the Anchor Inn, which is a fringe event at Sidmouth Folk Festival, and the other being from Len [I am ashamed to say that I cannot recall his surname] who is a regular singer at the Bideford Folk Club in North Devon. Neither are Mudcatters. Next time I see them I will ask them their sources ...
