This appears to be the only instance of this song turning up in oral tradition although it was printed many times in broadsides and song books.

The anti-Semitic theme is not in accordance with today’s values and is included in this collection purely for academic interest, not for performance.

I am indebted to Andy Doran of Chipping Campden for forwarding this song to me which was in the Stratford-upon-Avon record office.
