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.
