beadle's half-dime singers' library

I have references to the Beadles' collections (but no way of getting sight of a copy) and was wondering if anyone can tell me: was it habitual to include what might be called contemporatry commercial songs rather than, say, 'traditional' songs? I'm chasing the pedigree of Ratcatcher's Daughter.

Thanks.
