Old King Coul (3) (per malcolm Douglas:
An 18th century Scottish version of the well-known song. Midi made from notation in Songs of
Scotland vol.2 (ed. Myles B. Foster, undated; presumably late C19), where the tune is simply described as "ancient". The DT file
points out that lines 5 and 6 of the text are omitted in the Scots Musical Museum, where the tune (presumably the same as the one I
quote) was given, so it should be noted that the lines
And every fidler was a very good fidler,
And a very good fidler was he.
do not have music prescribed. I don't know what the best way around this is; Chappell (Popular Music of the Olden Time) has
two English versions, but the one with the extra lines is very different to the SMM tune, which is a variant of the tune from John Gay's
Achilles, which Chappell also quotes. Best for now, I think, to note that the text from Herd given in the DT has no tune, but that the
tune I give is the one to which it was actually sung, minus those two lines. Doubtless people can improvise the rest if they wish) | Popup Midi Player |

Old Miner ( The song was published in
Roy Palmer's Songs of the Midlands (1972); it was collected by John Moreton in the early 1960s, from an unnamed source. Palmer
notes:
"Sung by an old miner in Haunchwood Pit, Nuneaton, Warwickshire... The pit is now closed. The informant originated in Durham,
where he had learned the tune. The words were his own."
