Merrie Old England by Roy Bailey (Cover)

Was looking for a version of Tolpuddle Men on Spotify and chanced upon Roy Bailey's 1994 album, Business as Usual.

What a brilliant and prolific folk singer! I suspect there will be a few more covers of his work in the coming weeks.

Some detail from Roy's obituary, he passed in November 2018:

Here is Roy's version:

The lyrics might not be by Roy, I found partial lyrics in this 1996 pagan magazine attributed to Rob Johnson:

But it could have been a mistaken attribution to Roy? I will see what mudcat has to say.
