Thread Name: Lyr Add: Sandgate Lass on the Ropery Banks (Nunn)
Subject: RE: lyrics:The Sandgate Lass-Nunn
"The Skipper's Wedding" should have the same tune, because it's an immitation of "The Blythsome Bridal". The origins of "The Blythsome Bridal" (to the same tune under the 'Silly Old Man' title) may be seen in a ballad no later than 1676, "The Scottish Contract" which is in the Scarce Songs 1 file on my website. www.erols.com/olsonw
