GUEST,Bruce O. Lyr Req: Tinker's Wedding / Tinklers' Waddin' (21) RE: Lyr Req: Tinker's Wedding 28 Apr 01


"The Tinker's Wedding" does seem to be an imitation of "The Blythsome Bridal". A 17th century version is in the Scarce Songs 1 file on my website.

In "The Tinker's Wedding" there is played "Farewell to Whisky". That's "Niel Gow's Farewell to Whiskey". The song, from an 1804 collection, is in the Scarce Songs 2 file on my website. Gow published the tune in 1809.
