Thanks Steve- it's just the one volume presently, being newly hatched though ten+ years in the making! It's over 160 songs with lyrics tunes & notes. We have a facebook page "Bygone Ballads of Maine". Will put up a specific thread asap

BTW, to avoid thread creep I'll mention that there is also a version of "Bung Yer Eye" as follows

BUNG YER EYE
Merchie Harvey, Houlton ME 9/28/1941
Helen Hartness Flanders Collection, Middlebury VT

Oh, there was a young gentleman walking the street.
A very fine damsel he chanced for to meet
And as she drew near him she says, will you buy?"
"Now what have you there?" and she said, Bung Your Eye."

REFRAIN:
Tura nah, Tura nah
Tura narand O-day.

"Oh, now to be serious, what have you got there?"
It's good Holland gin, sir, I vow and declare;
It's good Holland gin, sir, it is bye the bye
And an odd name they call it--it is Bung Yer Eye.

"How much like a gentleman you do appear."
"You can have my gin, lady, you need never fear."
While talking with a neighbor is just passing by
And I'll leave you in care of this young Bung Yer Eye.

Now the woman being gone and I fully bent
To open the basket it was my intent.
When I opened the basket, I heard a child cry,
When up in my face, popped this young Bung Yer Eye.

Now what has this jade of a woman got here?
Now fur my ginavy*, I'm afraid I'll pay dear.
The girls they all poke me as I passed them by
They'll say I'm the daddy of young Bung Yer Eye.

Now I took that child home as I heard people say
To get the child christened without more delay.
Said the parson, I'll christen your child bye and bye.
What name shall we call it?" Said I, "Bung Yer Eye."

"Bung Yer Eye," said the parson,"That is an odd name."
An odd name it is, sir, and an odd way it came.
Instead of ginavy, as I thought to buy,
I opened the basket, out popped Bung Yer Eye."

Now the very next day I was walking the street.
This very same damsel I chanced for to meet.
Now I cried to policeman jest as hard's I could cry,
Now stop that damned rascal. She's bunged both my eyes."

Upon comparing this version with a broadside from the Bodleian library, the word “ginavy” appears to be a corruption
of “Geneva” meaning “Dutch gin.” “Geneva” was derived from the word genever, the Dutch word for juniper, a
primary ingredient in the making of gin. Interestingly, a popular version of this song describes “the finest of whisky from
High Germany” aka Holland.
