Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Shaking out the sheets
Two texts in the DT (better to use the search engine than the titles list, usually); one, with tune, from Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time, one from a Steeleye Span record. I don't know whether they used the music from Chappell (or another source; there's a tune of that name in Playford, for instance) or made up their own as they sometimes did.

It sounds as if it's the S Span tune you want, though. Who was it who sang the song at Skipton?
