Marry? Oh No, Not I (a transcription from a recording by Margaret Christl, and names no traditional
source. I think it a fairly safe bet that this was also taken from Peacock, who published a set -from Everett Bennett again- which is
textually nearly identical, though Christl has made some minor alterations; including the title, which was Oh No, Not I. Compare, first
Bennett's first verse, then Christl's:
A Newfoundland sailor was walking the Strand,
He met a pretty fair maid, and took her by the hand,
Saying, "Will you come to Newfoundland along with me?" he cried.
And the answer that she made to him was "Oh no, not I."
A Newfoundland sailor was walking by the strand
He spied a pretty fair young maid, and took her by the hand
"Oh, will you go to Newfoundland, along with me?" he cried
But the answer that she gave him was, "It's, oh no, not I."
That's The Strand in London, rather than the seaside! Midi made from Peacock's notation. The song has turned up quite a bit in
England and Canada, and occasionally in the USA; it appeared on 19th century broadsides both as No, my love, not I and The
Newfoundland Sailor. Roud Index number 1403.) | Popup Midi Player |

Month of January (per Malcolm:The DT text was transcribed from a June Tabor record; she seems to have recorded an
arrangement of the traditional set that came from Sarah Makem, omitting the final two verses, as did Dolores Keane. Midi made from
notation in Peter Kennedy's Folksongs of Britain and Ireland, 1975, where it was called The False Young Man. Kennedy and
Sean O'Boyle recorded the song from Sarah Makem in 1953
Roud Index no. 175, Laws P20.
Variants have been found in Ireland, Canada, Scotland, the USA and England, often with titles like Cruel Was My Father, The Fatal
Snowstorm, and so on.

Spurgeon Allaby, and is a variant of Villikins and His Dinah. Obviously, we don't know whether or not Harry Sutherland used that
