Synopsis
Excerpt from Folk Songs From Sussex
These eleven songs are chosen from the collection which Mr. Francis Jekyll and I have been making during the last six years. At this time of day I suppose it is hardly necessary to state that the tunes are printed exactly as they were sung, without improvement of any sort. As regards the words, every collector knows that they almost always require a certain amount of editing. One reason for this is that the words as sung very frequently contain obvious errors and corruptions; perhaps a rhyming word has been forgotten and a non-rhyming one substituted. Such mistakes are easily rectified as a rule.
