When the Battle it Was Won ( From MacKenzie's Ballads and Songs from Nova Scotia, where no tune was
given. The Roud Index at present lists only two sets with tunes; one from Maine, USA, the other from Newfoundland. The latter
would presumably be the one to go for here, with the usual health warning: there is no evidence that this tune is even remotely like the
one that belonged to the text in the DT, but it was used for a similar version of the song in another part of Canada, so it might be.
Midi made from notation in Peacock's Songs of the Newfoundland Outports (1965): vol.3, where it is called The Deserter. Noted
by Kenneth Peacock from Mrs. Thomas Walters of Rocky Harbour, July 1958. ) | Popup Midi Player |
