Notes

Words and melody from North countrie ballads, songs and pipe tunes, arr. W. Gillies Whittaker (J. Curwen & Sons), n.d.

Britten made an earlier arrangement of this song for voice and guitar in ca. October 1958, which was included in volume 6 of the Folk Song Arrangements: see Bonny at morn. Although different, the two accompaniments share one or two brief melodic patterns.
