My Lady's Coach

"My Lady's coach," words from "Songs & Ballads of the West" (my edition is dated 1895) omitting a number of verses added by Baring-Gould. The tune is also from the same book, found under the name of "Broadbury Gibbet." According to the notes, it was collected as a tune to "My lady's coach," but as S B-G already had a tune for that song he wrote the Broadbury Gibbet words so that he could include both.

Lady Howard died in mid-October so even if the song is not strictly Hallowe'en it could be considered seasonal. Of course, it is only tradition that links the song to Lady Howard's punishment and there are other layers of meaning.
