Description: | A mystery, and probably mistitled - this tune makes sense on its own but bears no relation to the similarly titled song tune on page 37 of this manuscript, and does not fit the lyrics either.This song/tune forms part of a manuscript compiled by John Bell entitled 'Collection of local tunes as played in Northumberland' which can be seen as the counterpart to his published book of lyrics, 'Rhymes of the Northern Bards' 1812, facsimile reprint 1971 with introduction by David Harker. David Harker's introduction to the facsimile gives very detailed information on Bell, and is highly recommended reading for the curious. ; Songs and tunes collected by John Bell | Rights holder: | rights holder : Society of Antiquaries | Temporal: | start=1801;end=1840; | Source: | Folk Archive Resource North East | Identifier: | farne:R1002201 | Go to resource |
