Some tunes were obvious simply from the given refrain 'Derry Down' and even just the metre and form, The Admiral Benbow and Jack Hall form. 'When sol did cast no light' was used for numerous ballads, easily spotable by its very simple form. Naming a standard tune on printed songs was used from the 16thc to modern day.
