Thread Name: Tune Req: R Hood & W Stutly - Child 141
Subject: Tune Req: R Hood & W Stutly - Child 141
I am trying to find a tune for the ballad that is sometimes called Robin Hood and Will Stuckley though F.J. Child called it Robin Hood rescuing Will Stutly and gives in the number 141. The surname is spelled differently in a number of ballad books and some suggest that this is another name for Will Scarlet.
Some ballad books say that this is sung to the tune of Robin Hood and Queen Katherine but that is not a lot of help to me.
I expect that there is a tune in Bronson but I am afraid that I do not have access to that.
