Thanks for that. I'll try again though personally I'm only interested in those that have been found in oral tradition, probably his earlier songs as none are mentioned here. Useful to have these titles up as a strat though. Also unless we can see the title page we can't be certain these are all songs that he has written himself. Joe offer's Fireside Songbook' quite likely would contain songs sung by Joe but not necessarily written by him. Just for extra titles here are Kilgarriff's entries for Linn in the Lyricists and Composers section. Did you ever see a Feather in a Tomcat's Tail? (Music by Minnie Cunningham c1890) Get a Little Table (arr. W, Simm) 1882 Never push a man when he's going down. (Arr M. Hobson) 1869 (SG: Hobson also arranged many of Harry Clifton's songs about the same time and Clifton was noted for these 'motto' songs) When the Cock begins to Crow (music Rowland Howard). Here are those in the Artistes Repertoires section: The fattest Man in the Forty Twa get a Little Table Going Down the Hill Help One Another Boys Jim the Carter Lad Keep to the Right Never be downhearted boys Never dip your oar too deep Never push a man when he's going down Pull slow and steady boys Wake up, Johnny When the Cock begins to Crow Where there's life there's hope Y'heave Oh! You never miss the water till the well runs dry. I'll add my own sheets later. The cover of When the Cock is online at the V&A website.
