Description: A Norfolk roadmender named John Drinkwater sang The Magpie to E J Moeran, saying that he had found the words in an old newspaper and that the tune had just come to him. Moeran notated it and later showed it to Peter Warlock, who made an arrangement for voice (or unison choir) and piano. It transpired that the words were actually from a music hall act, The Mohawk Mistrels; copyright permission was refused. Hal Collins, who lived with Moeran and Warlock at Eynsford, Kent, wrote a new text, Yarmouth Fair, to fit Warlock's arrangement, published in 1924. A version with the original text was published in 1989.
