The song was collected by H. Fleetwood Sheppard in Broadstone, Devon, in 1891.
The text may have been re-written by Sabine Baring Gould and Fleetwood Sheppard.
'Tis not to seek such perishing ware That I am tramping to Strawberry Fair."
An honest mind, but such trifles are rare I doubt if they're found at Strawberry Fair.
So come- make over to me your ware, In church today at Strawberry Fair.
