RVW2/3/6 A Yacre (Acre) Of Land

Mr. Greenwood, Westerdale, Yorkshire, 13 July 1904

Editorial note

The dashes shown in bars 3 and 4 are exactly as given in RVW's original manuscript. However, the editors consider that these are repetition marks, and expanding the collector's shorthand suggests that the lyrics as collected were as follows: My father he left me a yacre of land, Acre of land, acre of land. My father he left me a yacre of land. On Christmas Day in the morning. This ties in nicely with version 3 of the song collected by Steve Gardham given in the 'Yorkshire Garland' collection.
