Thread Name: Tune Req: One Misty Moisty Morning
Subject: RE: Tune Req: One Misty Moisty Morning
The song was originally called "The Wiltershire Wedding", and the oeiginal tune for it is the "The Friar and the Nun", to which the song is printed in 'Pills to Purge Melancholy' and which is is called "All in a misty morning" in Gay's 'Beggars' Opera'. The ballad is ZN73 in the broadside ballad index on my website, and an ABC of the tune is B149 in the broadside ballad tunes there. www.erols.com/olsonw
