The Constant Farmer's Son- sung by Elizabeth Edbrook of Withycombe, Somerset on 17 September, 1908; Collector: Sharp, Cecil J.
It's of a farmer's daughter so beautiful I'm told,
Her parents they consented give thanks and pounds in gold
There was a lord, who plead his word in vain
For there was a farmer's son young Mary's heart 'd gain.
