Ninepenny Marl first heard this sung by Jean Shuttleworth who lived many years in Coventry and was well known as a local historian and in the local folk scene. However, the following is given at Mudcat Cafe.

Given by Maddy De Leon, and Mark Gilston, who learned it from Jim Mageean. It was originally a grange song and the original chorus was: Let union be in all our farms, Let all our farms be joined as one.

Grange's where outlying farms from Cistercian Monasteries and worked by lay brothers rather than monks. These outlying farms housed just the farm workers and became a hotbed of agricultural unrest.
