circa Dec 1940
The first known performance of this song (to date) is 14 Oct 1943, but the song is drafted on the same paper type as the folk songs first performed on 11 Dec 1940, so it is logical to assume it was written at around the same time.
Traditional folk song with a Scottish tune arranged by Britten and dedicated: 'To Meg Mundy'. It was published as no. 4 of Britten's Folk song arrangements in Vol. 1, The British Isles.
