Lili Burlero is a favorite tune used for English Country Dancing. It's also a thing that brings to my attention how much I appreciate that so much of what I love in folk music - the tune, the song, the ballad - each one is a part of a larger whole.
When it was fairly new to us in Cleveland, the oringinal ECD band included Josh Stier on hammer dulcimer & tinwhistle. In those days, Josh was known to sing the verses during the dance. Dancers would sing the chorus/B part of the tune back at him. Always a fount of folk knowledge, Josh would then, during the break explain to anyone remaing in ignorance what the lyrics were about/historical import.
Josh has been dead for a horrid long time - but I never play, or even hear, the tune without thinking of an eccentric New York Jewish guy, known for his love of Irish music, gleefully singing these Protestant Anglo lyrics. It reminds me of how much I owe him, and all the other folks over the years who've shared their love and knowledge where I could absorb some.
