GB/7e/1 Bonny Blue Handkerchief

File:GB-7e-1.mid

File:GB-7e-1.pdf

File:GB-7e-1.xml


GB/7e/2 General Wolfe

File:GB-7e-2.mid

File:GB-7e-2.pdf

File:GB-7e-2.xml

Notes on GB/7e/2 The singer, "Jack Dade, Puham Union," has also given us the lyrics for this version of General Wolfe. See the image file for GB/4/56 posted at the EFDSS's VWML website.


GB/7e/3 Trot Away

File:GB-7e-3.mid

File:GB-7e-3.pdf

File:GB-7e-3.xml

Notes on GB/7e/3 The informant, "Old Tubbs" is not clearly indicated in the MS but has been deduced from the MS evidence. He is not to be confused with "Young Tubbs." (See GB/7e/20.)


GB/7e/4 Ratcatcher's Daughter

File:GB-7e-4.mid

File:GB-7e-4.pdf

File:GB-7e-4.xml

Notes on GB/7e/4 A degree of editorial interpretation was necessary to reconstruct this tune from the rather sketchy version in the MS. From the layout of the MS it seems likely that this song, like GB/7e/3 and GB/7e/5, was from "Old Tubbs."


GB/7e/5 Hearts of Oak

File:GB-7e-5.mid

File:GB-7e-5.pdf

File:GB-7e-5.xml

Notes on GB/7e/5 The words are incomplete and garbled. From the layout of the MS it seems likely that this song, like GB/7e/3 and GB/7e/4, was from "Old Tubbs."


GB/7e/6 Harvest Song

File:GB-7e-6.mid

File:GB-7e-6.pdf

File:GB-7e-6.xml


GB/7e/7 Molecatcher

File:GB-7e-7.mid

File:GB-7e-7.pdf

File:GB-7e-7.xml


GB/7e/8 Rose of Britain's Isle

File:GB-7e-8.mid

File:GB-7e-8.pdf

File:GB-7e-8.xml

Notes on GB/7e/8 The MS is unclear, but in the transcription it is assumed that the singer is the same as for the previous song.


GB/7e/9 John Reilly

File:GB-7e-9.mid

File:GB-7e-9.pdf

File:GB-7e-9.xml

Notes on GB/7e/9 The significance of the term "twice" in the MS is unclear; here it is taken to indicate a repeat the second phrase to produce a standard musical ABBA pattern.
