100 British folk songs
This is an excellent songbook which I purchased whilst on holiday in Warwickshire in 1999. It contains several songs completely new to me which I have since taken into my repertoire. It is also a treasure-trove of childhood favourites. The pages are well-designed for the practical musician, many tunes are given in two keys and sources to all songs are also given. They include:
- Annie Laurie
- A-Roving
- The Bailiff's Daughter of Islington
- The Barley Mow
- Ye banks and braes
- Billy Boy
- Blow Away the Morning Dew
- Bobby Shaftoe
- Come to my window
- Comin' through the rye
- Dance to Your Daddy
- Dashing away with the smoothing iron
- David of the White Rock
- Drink to me only with thine eyes
- Fire Down Below
- Farewell, ye green fields
- The Farmer's Boy
- Golden Slumbers
- Green grow the rushes-oh!
- Greensleeves
- Helston Furry Dance
- Here's to the maiden
- Hush, my dear, lie still
- John Peel
- The Jolly Toper
- The Last Rose of Summer
- Maids at eighteen
- Men of Harlech
- The Miller of Dee
- The Murder of Maria Marten
- The Oak and the Ash
- Oh, no, John!
- Oh can ye sew cushions
- My love is like a red, red rose
- This old man
- The Unquiet Grave
