S2 9 Two Widows, Three Knights, Nine Brave Boys

In musical circles in late Victorian times the question was often asked as to whether England had any traditional folk songs? The answer, thankfully, was "Yes!" But, it took Sabine Baring-Gould and other folk song collectors of that era to realise that these mythical folk songs had been looked for in the wrong places.
One such place that yielded many, many songs was ye olde worlde inn (pub!) and in this episode we return to The Falcon Inn  in St Mawgan, Cornwall to unearth the story behind a classic Cornish folk song.
