The Constant Farmer's Son- sung by Harry James of Upton Pyne, Devon in January, 1908. Collector: [Wyatt-Edgell, L. Priscilla]
It's of a merchant's daughter, in London town did dwell
She was modest, fair and handsome, and her parents loved her well.
She was admired by lords and squires, their hope was all in vain,
For there was one, tis a farmer's son, young Mary's heart could claim.
