Thread Name: Naval Songs and Ballads
Subject: RE: Naval Songs and Ballads
I've been through my second list now - songs with Roud numbers - looking for other versions which have music specified. The search was for music or audio and both are included in the list. For songs with many versions with music I have only included 6 of them. Unless it says that only some are shown, all the other sources with tunes (in the Roud index) are listed. I think 25 of them have other versions with tunes.

The lists should show all the songs with tunes of some sort available.
