Many have questioned the historical accuracy of this religious origin of the song. Some have suggested it is merely an ‘urban myth’, although there is little ‘hard’ evidence available either way. Some Church historians affirm this account as accurate, whilst others point out discrepancies that could mean the song is merely a good catchy folk tune to words that provided entertainment on the long dark January nights many years ago.

We may never know for certain, but for those who have good memories and the ability to sing a folk song in a different meter and at some speed, this is a favourite.
