No. 30. Farewell, Nancy
Versions with tunes are given in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society (volume i, p. 130; volume ii, pp. 99 and 298); and in Joyce’s Ancient Irish Music (No. 93).
See also “William and Nancy’s parting,” in Garret’s Newcastle Garlands (volume ii).
The tune, a remarkably fine one, is in the Æolian mode, and was sung to me by a woman, seventy-four years of age.
