From Mr and Mrs Truell
Collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gravesend, 31st December 1904
Ralph Vaughan Williams MSS Collection RVW2/1/208, RVW2/3/37
Vaughan Williams’ handwriting is notoriously difficult to decipher – I have tried to make sense of his scrawl with the help of ‘Riley the fisherman’, a broadside published by the London printer H. Such between 1849 and 1862, available from the Bodleian Libraries’ Broadside Ballads Online, shelfmark Firth c.12(287).
