There Lived a Lady in Merry Scotland (The song was recorded, as There Lived a Lady in Merry Scotland, by Ralph Vaughan Williams
from Mrs. Loveridge at the Homme, Dilwyn, Herefordshire, in 1908, and was published in The Folk-Lore of Herefordshire, Ella
Leather, 1912. Midi made from notation in that book for verse 1; Mrs. Loveridge introduced variations into the tune in subsequent
verses; these appear in Ella Leather's book and are quoted in Bronson, vol.2, 79:3, p.246: There Was a Lady in Merry Scotland
The DT file differs in some respects from the original. In verse 1, line 2, dee' is a mistake for deeds. Other differences are presumably
the result of editing by Roberts and Barrand:
Verse 3, lines 1 and 2: I will not believe in God, she said / Nor Christ in eternity
was originally I will not believe in a man, she said , / Nor in Christ in eternity
Verse 4 appears to have been introduced from another, unnamed source; unless the Leather book omitted it for some reason. The
original had this verse in its place (not in the DT file):
And God put life all in their bodies,
Their bodies all in their chest,
And sent them back to their own dear mother,
For in heaven they could take no rest.
Verse 6: originally
The cloth was spread, the meat put on;
No meat, Lord, can we take,
Since it's so long and many a day,
Since we have been here before.
Verse 7: originally
The bed was made, the sheets put on
No bed, Lord, can we take,
It's been so long and many a day
Since we have been here before.
Verse 8: originally
Then Christ did call for the roasted cock,
That was feathered with His only (holy?) hands;
He crowed three times all in the dish,
In the place where he did stand.
Verse 9 does not appear in the original.
Verse 10: originally
Then farewell stick and farewell stone,
Farewell to the maidens all.
Farewell to the nurse that gave us our suck;
And down the tears did fall.) | Popup Midi Player |

Three Fishers (per Malcolm:
The DT file correctly credits the text of this song to Charles Kingsley, but the music was written by John
Hullah, not Hull. The text was apparantly transcribed from a Joan Baez record; she seems to have added some unnecessary words to
Kingsley's song (the men must work and the women must weep...) which I have not included in the midi, made from notation in
Songs of England, ed. J.L. Hatton and Eaton Faning (Boosey & Hawkes, undated), as this is not a traditional song. It appears that
Stan Rogers recorded Kingsley's text set to a new tune by his brother Garnet, but this one is the original.) | Popup Midi Player |
