The version of it I have is on Loreena McKennits 1995 mini CD "A Winter Garden" and is the 15th century lyrics from the Pageant of the Shearmen and Taylors (Trad Mystery Play) It is from a live perfomance she did on Califormian radio in 1994
The CD has 5 songs only on it, Coventry Carol, God Rest ye ,Merry Gentlemen, Good King Wecelas, Snow, and Seeds of Love. Definate favourite at Midwinter, or at Christmas.
