Alice prompted me to go look through my notes and scraps of paper on fur trade songs. So here is an incomplete list only because these are all I could think of for now. If one of yous finds that some of these came out too late for the early 1800s, keep it to yerself! No, I would like to know what you come up with.

Songs, ballads, etc.

Tobacco's but an Indian Weed, Rosen the Beau, Mr. Fox, Greensleeves, Cutty Wren, Hal an Tow, Rocking the Cradle (which later became Whoopy Ty Yi Yo), Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye, Shenandoah, The Water is Wide, One Morning In May, Little Beggerman, Soldier's Joy, Scotland the Brave, Old Zip Coon, Oh Susannah (a stretch, it's from 1848), Cluck Old Hen, Girl I left Behind Me, Barbary Allen, Yankee Doodle, Home Sweet Home, Annie Laurie, Such a Gittin' Upstairs, Escape of John Web, Crafty Maid's Policy (Horsethief), Three Rogues, Bonnie Dundee, Auld Orange Flute (later tune to Sweet Betsy from Pike), The Cuckoo's Nest, The Owl, Locke Hospital (later, Streets of Laredo), Farewell Tae Tarwathie, Skyeboat Song, MacPherson's Farewell, Mairi's Wedding, the Silkie, Wandering Angus, She's Like the Swallow, Nightengale, Irish Jaunting Car (later tune to Bonnie Blue Flag), the Blackbird, Connemara Cradle song, Old Maid in the Garrett.

Whew, many of the old Irish and Scottish songs work, Child ballads would be ancient but would do, the old British empire songs like Over the Hills and Far Away or British Grenadiers.

Pub songs: Three Drunken Maidens, The Barley Mow, Anacreontic Song (later tune to, well you know), Nottingham Ale (tune from Lilliberlero), All For Me Grog, Whiskey in the Jar, Rattlin' Bog, Finnegan's Wake, John Barleycorn, Parting Glass.

Shanties, Sea songs: Heart of Oak, Greenland Fisheries, the Mermaid, Boney, Reuben and Benbow, the Frog he would a-wooing go, Nelson's Blood, Away Rio, Blow Ye winds, Blood Red Roses, Paddy Doyle's Boots, Greenland Fisherie.

Then there are just tunes: Divers and Lazarus (later, Star of the County Down), Swallowtail Jig, The Butterfly, Irish Washerwoman, Donald MacGillavry, Innisheer, King of the Fairies, Road to Lisdoonvarna, Devil among the Tailors, Staten Island Hornpipe, Blackberry Blossom, Hail Columbia, Eighth of January, Sailor's (College) Hornpipe, St. Anne's Reel, Brian Boru's March, Beech Spring, Bonny at Morn, Flowers of Edinburgh, Haste to the Wedding, Wearin of the Green. (I know, many of these have words. I just play the tunes.)

Well you did ask. And there will be a quiz later. This was handy for me to review what tunes and songs I do use. I forget them.

To answer Katlaughing, the cowboy camp will be on a ranch. The public won't see it. While they were nice to invite me, I don't think I can invite my friends here to join me. Durn it.
