GB/6b/13 [The Great Bell of Lincoln] Sung by Mr. George Knight, Horsham, April 1907Noted by George ButterworthButterworth also adds the following:
To the tune of the above, Mr Knight sang also the following health song:-
The Great Bell of Lincoln is broken in her frame,
And she must be mended before she rings again,
With new frame and new wheel, new clipper and new strings,
O turn the bell over, hark, hark, how she rings.
The last line refers to the reversing of the drinking horns after the health is drunk.

The following note was appended by Anne Gilchrist to the above:
This tune has a considerable resemblance to the old tune 'Jack Jintle' and
also to 'The Jacket and the Petticoat' (Miss Mason's Nursery Rhymes) - a
tune belonging to an eighteenth (?) century song called 'Nothing at All'.
