As you can see from the above I am currently slowly sending Artful scans of Harry clifton sheet music so he can post the info and ABC notations. As this is going to be a long process if anyone has any preferences with particular songs please let me know and if I have them I will send them first. Next up should be 'Work, Boys, Work and Be Contented' which curiously goes to 'Work's tune, 'The Prisoner's Hope, or Tramp, Tramo, Tramp, The Boys are Marching'.

Meanwhile here is a newspaper review from the back of an edition of that particular song. If for no other reason than it helps with dating some of the titles mentioned.

'THE SONGS OF MR. HARRY CLIFTON,--It is with much pleasure we have to speak of the humorous and pleasing compositions of this very clever vocalist and author, because they supply a want which has long existed, viz, a lively, merry ditty, that can be sung at a private family party, either by lady or gentleman, without the fear of offending propriety. Unfortunately of late a taste has to some extent sprung up for a class of songs of a very questionable character, and 'great comic singers' have received in some instances enormous salaries for doing that which, in the opinion of many, had much better been left alone. but a change has begun to appear, and now real wit and humour seem to be required in place of low vulgarity. To Mr Clifton is the favourable movement mainly to be attributed, because unaided he has worked against the vulgar taste, and that he has succeded is best shown by the very large demand which every new song he issues to the public, through the instrumentality of Messrs. Hopwood & Crew, of New Bond Street, is sure to meet with. In the words of one of his own excellent compositions, he has been 'Pulling hard against the stream,' and at last the popular tide has turned in his favour-- a circumstance that will give pleasure to every lover of mirth and good taste. it would be impossible to enumerate separately the merits of his compositions, but as specimens of his style, we take at random, 'Bear it like a Man,' 'Where there's a Will there's a Way,' 'A Motto for every Man,' 'Work, Boys, Work,' 'Pulling hard against the stream,'My Old Wife,' 'Jones's Musical Party,' 'The Railway Bell(e),' 'It's really very singular,' and 'The good-tempered Man.' Each of the above are entirely of his own composition, both words and music, and in all such a healthy spirit prevails, that the vocalist experiences as much pleasure in singing as a really merry and wise party would certainly feel in listening to them. Mr. Clifton has doubtless worked hard, but the success he is now enjoying must be both a gratification and a satisfaction to him, especially as he has had to overcome difficulties that appeared almost insurmountable."--

A bit of overenthusiasm in here: 'both words and music'. Clifton didn't write all of the words or all of the music. Certainly 'Work, Boys, Work' stole its unattributed music from Work's work.
