			A transcription of Kimber's version, and the dance which it accompanied, was printed in [[English Dance and Song]], vol X, no. 3 (February 1946). The tune was also included on a 78rpm record recorded in October 1946, and issued by HMV in association with the EFDSS in 1947.

			The tune which [[Cecil Sharp]] collected from [[William Kimber]] as ‘Double Lead Through’ in 1908 was a completely different melody - a version of ‘[[King of the Cannibal Islands]]’. See https://www.vwml.org/record/CJS2/10/1656.

			A variety of other tunes have been noted under the title 'Double Lead Through', from [[Oxfordshire]], [[Gloucestershire]] and [[Sussex]]. See https://www.vwml.org/search?advq=0\|tt\|double%20lead%20through&is=1
