J. O. 272, 1849) produced zero opinion up on a form of the fresh track that he published rather than a song, and that i believe he’d maybe not read it sung, just like the he failed to hook it up so you can Jack Miller within his after guide quoted over. The fresh new type the guy offered is actually called the fresh “Beggars out-of Ratcliffe Fair.” The majority of the newest beggars’ labels given in this version is Welsh. H. F. Lippincott ( An excellent Shakespeare Jestbook , Elizabethan Degree #20, Salzburg, 1973) summarized before comments toward three outlines away from Jack Miller’s tune, but not one of these appear to have bring about even good tentative identity which have one recognized tune. You will find now produced one which I am hoping have a tendency to stand. That is as far as i can carry the topic on present.

I wish to give thanks to Peter Kennedy on recording recording from Francis McPeake’s tune and you will McPeake’s grandaughter, Kathleen McPeake, getting her aid. In addition offer as a consequence of Jennifer Reducing of your Western Folklife Cardio, Library regarding Congress, Arizona, D.C. having transcription of track.

Within the framework it is somewhat including “Bragandary”, B541, and you will “Derry’s Reasonable” try contempoary with the initially mention if it, however, we do not really have enough of “Derry’s Fair” so you can over strongly recommend a potential relationships.]
