It's of a rich lady (Shooting Of His Dear)- sung by Martha Badley [Bradley] of North Petherton, Somerset on 8 August, 1907. Collector: Cecil J. Sharp.
It's of a rich lady and lady of land,
And a very rich lady and her fortune was grand,
Sweet William ral-de-ral-de ral[1] cold showers coming on,
With her apron swinging 'round her cold shoulders coming on.
