The Recruited Collier, shares the same tune as Sweet Thames Flow Softly

RoyPalmer commented
It is clear that Lloyd’s editorial approach was not merely to reproduce the material sent to him. Sometimes the changes made were small… but others were far-reaching. On Jimmy’s Enlisted (or The Recruited Collier) Lloyd laconically notes: “Text from J.T. Huxtable of Workington. A version of this ballad appears in R. Anderson’s Ballads in the Cumberland Dialect (1808).” In fact, the original is entitled simply Jenny’s Complaint and features not a miner who enlists but a ploughman. A third party, Nichol, talks to Jenny about the wars and Jemmy (as he is called) merely ‘led’ (carted) the coals which remind Jenny of him. Lloyd silently (and brilliantly) remade the song. Although one phrase, ‘I’se leetin’, sits uncomfortably in the new text, the adaptation has enjoyed considerable success to a tune also supplied by Lloyd to replace Nancy to the Greenwood Gane, which Anderson prescribed.
