Steve Gardham	Metasongs, songs within songs (121* d)	RE: Metasongs, songs within songs	23 Mar 21
The lyric song 'Waly Waly' from the early years of the 18th century was incorporated into the ballad 'Jamie Douglas' (Child 204) some time before 1800, probably by a broadside writer, or it could have been someone like Lord Hailes (James Dalrymple). There was a lot of mixing and matching going on at that time.
