O Then, O Then

Place Collected: South Cerney

Date collected: Between 1913 and 1916

Roud Number: 437

A song which is probably better known than collectors would have us believe, given its singability, joviality and the possibility of remembering it on one hearing. The song is at least 200 years old, with a Scottish version dating from 1815. It is widely sung in the USA.
