C:Transcribed by Simon Furey and Lewis Jones
W: Transcribers' note:
W:Butterworth comments: Words not noted--GSKB. This tune is very similar to Bridgwater Fair' 
W: (Folksongs from Somerset). An anonymous note in the file comments: To Mr Keel This seems 
W: to be an old country dance air. A lively tune of the same character is sung in Scotland to the
W: "Tinkler's Waddin'", written by William Watt (1792 to 1859). There may have been a dance tune
W: by that name (the Tinker) to which Watt's song was written.
