We're diving even deeper into this Lancashire favourite, thanks to today's guest Colin Ormston. His research uncovers an enigmatic pair of brothers and a treasure trove of songs and local lore, and we get to hear the original tune and arrangement of this popular song.

You can find Colin's research and copies of the two original songbooks here and his folk website here. You can also hear his music on Youtube.

The original podcast with guest Peter Madeley can be found here.
