These songs, posted in other Mudcat threads, are marked "Tune: 'The Days We Went a-Gipsying'" (or words to that effect):

THE PITMAN'S HAPPY TIMES (before 1849)

THE DANDYLION CLOCK (Alexander Hay, 1879)

THE ENGLISH NAVVY (before 1885)


I also found these songs in old songbooks, with the same notation:

EDWIN RANSFORD. 1805-1876.

In the days when we went gypsying
A long time ago;
The lads and lassies in their best
Were drest from top to toe.

--In the Days When We Went Gypsying.
