William Clark

This tune, The Retreat is a missing link between an earlier version called The Buff Coat Hath No Fellow and a later version called She Want's a Fellow.

The 'Buff Coat' version features in one of the Playford published dance books and in Morpeth musician Henry Atkinson's manuscript book of 1694,

The later 'She Want's a Fellow' version is in a manuscript from the Lake District, possibly attributable to James Lishman, Dancing Master.
