THANKS! Holst is one of my favorite composers of all time. I am more familiar with his band and orchestra compositions. He used several of these songs as themes in his Suite in F for Military Band. Acapella choir has the greatest emotional impact.
I have a deep interest in the original collector of most of these folk songs....Dr. George Gardiner...Between 1905 to 1909 he collected over 1,100 songs in Hampshire, England alone, I sing - in a Traditional manner, many of those songs....And also Skylark often perform here in my part of Massachusetts and my wife often attends their concerts...

Woohoo! Thank you, I'm an avid trumpet/cornet player and finally know the words! Do you have any others?
The second song is just the Rattlin' Bog, an Irish traditional song hahaha
They're all traditional songs; Folk songs often are.
