PROCESSIONAL MORRIS [2]. Welsh, Morris Dance Tune (4/4 time). E Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. A version of the English "Helston Furry Dance." A note with the piece indicated it was "collected by Lady Lewis." Mellor notes that variants of this melody were common throughout England and Wales, "although, curiously, the tune is not used by Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire traditional dancers."
