Henry Hills learnt this song from his mother in Lodsworth, Sussex. Percy Merrick noted it down in 1900. This is the tune I like best of all the versions I have seen. I may have expanded the words using verses from elsewhere, but as I have been singing it for 30 years I couldn’t really say for sure.
