The songs Vaughan Williams noted from Mr Carruthers (who Roy Plamer identifies as "probably John Carruthers of Wigtown") were Bleckel Murry Neet, King Roger, Barberry Bell, A Wife of Willy Miller, Rossler Fair, Geordie Gair, and Rob Lowry. Anderson's verses were all set to existing tunes. Bleckel Murry Neet, Geordie Gair (Gill), and King Roger are printed in Roy Palmer, Bushes and Briars: Folk Songs Collected by Ralph Vaughan Williams (Llanerch, 1999, 14-19). A further song, The Codbeck Wedding, is printed (selected verses) in Keith Gregson's article Lakeland Step-Dancing and the Cumberland Bard (English Dance and Song, vol.42 no.3, 1980), along with other dance-related extracts from Andersons's works. Gregson also prints a number of Andersons's songs in his Cumbrian Songs and Ballads (Dalesman, 1980).

There is a longer piece by Gregson, The Cumberland Bard: an Anniversary Reflection in The Folk Music Journal 4 (4) 1983, 333-365. Included are texts for The Bleckel Murry-Neet (plus tune), Barbary Bell (plus a broadside text and one noted from an oral source; with two tunes), The Whorton Wedding (plus tune), Sally Grey (plus a text noted from an oral source; with two tunes), Geordie Gill (with two tunes), Jenny's Complaint, and Rob Lowrie (with tune). The tune prescribed by Anderson for Jenny's Complaint (Nancy's to the Greenwood gane) is not given, and I haven't found it yet; it may be at Bruce Olson's site, as it was used in Allan Ramsay's ballad opera The Gentle Shepherd (1725).

Gregson alludes to correspondence with Bert Lloyd about Jenny's Complaint (op. cit., 338-9):

"Unfortunately, The Recruited Collier is a mystery. From correspondence with A. L. Lloyd it appears that somewhere in a west Cumbrian library there is a manuscript which holds the secret. If that manuscript is merely Anderson's original song, the reworking is probably recent. If the manuscript contains the words of The Recruited Collier then the mystery deepens. This, of course, would be the text which Lloyd received from Jim Huxtable of Workington and which inspired him to compose one of the great tunes of the Folk Song Revival."

Incidentally, Barbary Bell appeared on 19th century broadsides, with the story moved from Cumbria to Yorkshire and various other changes (including a chorus). A tune appearing in MS tunebooks of the period as Barbary Bell is a form of St Patrick's Day in the Morning; Anderson prescribed Cuddle and cuddle us awe thegither; at the moment I don't know if that's the same tune or not.
