Hello again! I got my fancy new account and then forgot how to use it.

So here's my update from the first request, here:

First stab

I was a bit disappointed with the single offering for June (Blaydon Races?!) so I did a bit of very strenuous legwork and found these:

You'll notice there's at least 3 different ways of murdering this song, none of which overlap 100% and all of which seem to have fairly different tunes. Result!

A Tree Song \ Oak and Ash and Thorn - Kipling \ Bellamy

...Sing Oak and Ash and Thorn, good Sirs
(All of a Midsummer's morn)!
Surely we sing of no little thing,
In Oak and Ash and Thorn!...

Midsummer Carol
Source; Songs of the West by S. Baring-Gould
Words and tune collected from William Aggett, an old crippled labourer at Chagford, Dartmoor, Devon, 1870

'Twas early I walked on a midsummer morning,
The fields and the meadows were decked and gay,
The small birds were singing, the woodlands a-ringing,
'Twas early in the morning, at breaking of day,
I will play on my pipes, I will sing thee my lay!
It is early in the morning, at breaking of day.

The Eighteenth Day Of June

On the eighteenth day of June, my boys, eighteen hundred and fifteen,
Both horse and foot they did advance; most glorious to be seen,
Both horse and foot they did advance and the bugle-horn did blow
And the sons of France we made to dance on the plains of Waterloo.
