GUEST,Jake Lyr/Chords Req: Lancashire folk songs (56* d) RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Lancashire folk songs 02 Mar 00


Another very good book is: 21 Lincolnshire Folk Songs collected by Percy Grainger and edited by Patrick O'Shaughnessy, 1968, Oxford University Press.

The book contains words, music, chords, notes on each of the songs and an extensive bibliography.

The songs include:
Betsy Walton
Bold William Taylor
Brigg Fair
Creeping Jane
Died For Love
Early One Spring
A Fair Maid Walking All in Her Garden
Georgie
The Gipsy's Wedding Day
Horkstow Grange
I'm Seventeen Come Sunday
The Keys of My Heart
Lisbon
The Lost Lady Found
The Nutting Girl
Oats and Beans and Barley Grows
Once I Courted a Damsel
T'owd Yowe wi' One Horn
Shepherd's Daughter
Six Dukes Went A-Fishing
The Sprig of Thyme


There's also a really good cd by John Roberts and Tony Barrand called Heartoutbursts - English Folksongs collected in Lincolnshire by Percy Grainger

This is on Golden Hind Music - GHM-103
P.O. Box 1792
Schenectady, NY 12301

I think you might also be able to get it from Folk-Legacy.

Brigg Fair
Seventeen Come Sunday
Creeping Jane
Turpin Hero
The White Hare
Rufford Park Poachers
Lord Bateman
The Gypsy's Wedding Day
A Fair Maid Walking
The Lost Lady Found
Sprig of Thyme
Riding Down to Portsmouth
Horkstow Grange
The "Rainbow"
William Taylor
Lord Melbourne
Lisbon
Died for Love

Hope this is helpful.
