paddymac: You don't want that book, anyway. You want the greatly enhanced, indexed & many songs & tunes added second edition, 1992. It's by Ed Cray (same as the original), the current reigning Authority on bawdy English-language (esp American, though) song & ballad. It's easily available from the publisher, University of Illinois Press. I paid about $34 list but you should be able to improve on that online. It's an excellent book, the Bible of the genre and, believe it or not, one of a total of only three existing scholarly books on bawdy song. In days when you can access truly filthy material in comic book stores & movies, I think it shocking that scholarly treatment of humerous song was non-existant and even banned until this book came out.
chanteyranger: You may have said this but the Lanchester CD is available as a cheapo from Legacy-International for $5 or $6. (But, as always, try Camsco first.) It's a cute record & probably worth buying but very misleading to be called 'bawdy.' Well, one or two songs are mildly suggestive.AggieBethie: I think the best part of your singing is the obvious humor you see in the songs and clearly pass this on. That is, after all, the essence of bawdy song. They're always funny.
