      No, no one else has recorded a version of this old English folk song ever 🙄

      Actually that's not true. John Roberts and Tony Barrand used to sing it, and I have a couple of other recordings too. The first time I heard it was on an old Folk Legacy recording years ago. I've performed it myself for May Celebrations. There is a slight variant of the "Aunt Mary Moses" verse which I learned from Leslie Fish when I was in the Manzanita Choir:
      Bless Aunt Mary Moses
      She raised a mighty storm O
      It blew away the Spanish fleet
      Between the dusk and dawn O.
      This is supposed to refer to the wrecking of the Spanish Armada.

      @@melissapinol7279 You havent heard of a thing called irony have you?

      Actually am very familiar with irony since I write parody and satire, but since we were discussing the song, I decided to not engage in witty wordplay and just refer to song directly. I thought some people might actually be interested in the different musicians who have recorded or performed the song. I thought the alternative verses might interest some people, though I suspect that Leslie might have written the Spanish Armada version herself for the May Day festival.
