The following notes are from the internet and give another source for this song also known as The Hunting Priest - Source: Songs Of The West, Rev Sabine Baring Gould This was sung by my great-uncle, Thomas Snow, Esq., of Franklyn, near Exeter, when I was a child. I have received it also from Mr H. Whitfield, brush maker, Plymouth. The words may be found, not quite the same, but substantially so, in "The new Cabinet of Love," circ. 1810 as "Doctor Mack." In Oliver's "Comic Songs," circ.185, it is "Parson Ogg, the Cornish Vicar.". It is also in "The Universal Songster" (1826), ii. p. 348. It is found on Broadsides. The tune comes from "Quaker's Opera" 1728 and it was called "Country Gardens" used also for "Vicar of Bray" Traditional arranged Ninepenny Marl |
