"Londons Ordinary" ("Through the Royal Exchange as I walked") has been posted HERE, with a link to the broadside at the Bodleian Library.

"London's Ordinary" is included on the album The Tale of Ale - an album of songs all about beer!

Whoops, the way I ended that can be misleading. That last is my website, not the Bodley Ballads URL, which you can click on from Mudcat's Links or my homepage.

See copies listed as ZN2612 in the broadside ballad index on my website (probably expanded from the song in Heywood's 'The Rape of Lucrece']. That in the Rawlinson collection should be on the Bodley Ballads website. www.erols.com/olsonw

Jolly Jack noted that it's also called 'Every Man in His Humour' and that it is a broadside that they obtained from Evan's 'Old Ballads'. Bruce O will no doubt be able to help you further.

Trying to find lyrics to the above song. Heard on an album by now defunct band Jolly Jack (Rolling Down To Old Maui). First line goes "At the royal exchanges I tarried , where galants in satins did shine". Goes on to name a series of public houses in London and their respective clients (The Bishop will dine at the Mitre and the pickpocket at the blind alehouse). Any news or locations would be welcome. (first thread) Thanks
