Thanks for the information, Ian, I will try to get it to work.

Thank you very much for the lyrics, Bruce O. Now when I get the tune I will be all set.

I knew I had some information on this tune squirreled away on my hard disk, and here it is. Never did have a chance to track down the recordings.

The following are entries in the "Fiddler's Companion" (http://stanford.celtic.edu/tunes/fc/)

CUCKOLDS ALL (IN) A ROW. AKA and see "Cuckolds All Awry," "Hey Boys, Up Go We." English, Country Dance Tune (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Major (Raven): C Major (Chappell). Standard. AAB (Chappell): AABB (Raven). The air appears in Playford's "The English Dancing Master" of 1650. It was used as a party tune by the Cavaliers, according to Chappell (1859), who states that they sang the words of "Hey, boys, up go we" and "London's true character" to the tune.

The latter song heaped abuse on the citizens of that town for siding against the King in the civil wars, and began "You coward-hearted citizens..."; it is printed in "Rats rhimed to Death; or, The Rump Parliament hanged in the Shambles" (1660) and in both editions of "Loyal Songs written against the Rump Parliament." "Cuckolds All a Row" is mentioned in the older song "O London in a fine town." Samuel Pepys attended a dance at the court of Charles II, misheard the name of the tune, and made this entry in his diary on the 31st of December, 1662:

Then to country dances; the King leading the first, which he called for; which was, says he, "Cuckolds all awry," the old dance of England. Of the ladies that danced, the Duke of Monmouth's mistress, and my Lady Castlemaine, and a daughter of Sir Harry de Vicke's, were the best. The manner was, when the King dances, all the ladies in the room, and the Queen herself, stand up; and indeed he dances rarely, and much better than the Duke of York. Having stayed there as long as I thought fit, to my infinate content, it being the greatest pleasure I could wish now to see at Court, I went home, leaving them dancing.
