In Vaughan Williams’ manuscript, ‘Sheffield App[rentice]’ is crossed out and replaced by ‘Farmers dter’, with the note “Same tune as Dundee”. The musical notation is incomplete, with a very partial text which, save for a few words, is illegible.

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).
