Another song from the Joe Offer collection of songs many of which were used in the BBC Schools programme, "Singing Together".
The footnote accompanying this song reads as follows:
Source: Lucy Broadwood and J A Fuller Maitland. 1893, English County Songs, Leadenhall Press, London
Notes:
Noted by the Rev. John Broadwood, before 1840.
"This song, though learnt in Sussex, is properly a Nottinghamshire song: see 'Thonehagh-Moor Woods' a celebrated Nottinghamshire Poacher's song, in Bell's Songs of Peasantry, p 214"
Roud: 222
I had never heard the song, so wrote out the score in MuseScore then worked out my own accompaniment for it. It took me a couple of weeks until I felt able to try it out on video.
