About the Song
Technically not a carol, this Broadside Ballad is often sung by performers, choirs, and wintry singalongs during the holiday season.
There is an excellent thorough article on this song at the terrifically well-researched Mostly Norfolk site: https://mainlynorfolk.info/watersons/songs/timetorememberthepoor.html
