I would like to find the sheet music or midi file for the old fiddle tune "Roanoke". Dounds a lot like "soldier's Joy", but different second part. Thanks

Corn-husking song, "Up Roanoke and Down the River," noted in the Traditional Ballad Index. Any relation?

There is a fiddle/mando tab here... If you read music you should be able to figure it out from there.

From R.P. Christeson, The Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory, vol. 2 (University of Missouri Press, 1984, p. 83). "By Bob Walters, probably taken from the radio. This is not very widely known in the Midwest. The title may be doubtful. Recorded on wire August 20, 1956, by Bob Walters."

CONCERTINA.net - Tune-O-Tron Converter converts the ABC file into sheet music and midi.
