Does anyone have the dots for the Farmers Boy song.

A friend wants to learn it and he can only play from music

Thanks in anticipation

There is a midi in the DT here that should convert easily to dots.

if that is the correct "Farmer's Boy" you are looking for.

If the one you are looking for is "The rest of the Day's your own" then it is still on our "to be posted" list

I have the melody in dots, it is a solo Bb cornet part for the "Farmers Boy" arranged as a march, it is roughly the same tune as sung by the "Liverpool Spinners" but speeded up. Let me know if it would be any use to you.

Hi Kenny B
Thanks for your interest on this one , it is not actually for me but for a friend.
I think I would be doing him a favour if I say ''Yes Please''

Would you be doing it by e mail or post.
Thanks once again

Thanks MMario
I had forgotten that there is 'dots' music on the digi trad
The version I have is probably a "later" version as sung by the "Livepool Spinners" to a melody used by many British army regiments as a regimental march, probably because the regiments were originally raised in farming communities.
