Sometimes all you have to go on is the words.<\/div>\n
If you have a broadside, usually it will give you a trail you can follow to get the whole song, though it takes a bit of labor and a\u00a0little research is the only way to arrive at a work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, fortunately we have The Internet!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
For example, the broadside “The Bloody Murder of John Barley-Corn” is to be sung “to the tune of Shall I lie Beyond Thee.” It says so right here:\u00a0http:\/\/ebba.english.ucsb.edu\/ballad\/20199\/image<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Searching that tune “Shall I lie Beyond Thee” brings a link to a Google book saying that it’s the same tune as “Lulle Me Beyond Thee” which you can find on video on YouTube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=U6O5eu4iGwM or in Playford’s Dancing Master (http:\/\/abcnotation.com\/tunePage?a=trillian.mit.edu\/~jc\/music\/book\/Playford\/LulleMeBeyondThee\/0000)<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You then must put the tune to the lyrics provided in the broadside:\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/ebba.english.ucsb.edu\/ballad\/20199\/image<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
to get the song as a whole thing. <\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It makes more sense when you think of it this way – in period people wrote lyrics to stuff everyone knew more or less. So it would be like me writing a song “Dance Among the Market Urchins sung to the tune of California Girls.”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But that’s how it’s done!<\/div>\n
