.. that's a cunning way of reminding me that while I still have your
original yellow Bewick book, I ought to buy the new one too, Matt :-)
I will order one anyway, but do you mean by this you think it's not Lord
Randall either? (Sorry, being thick here - it'll probably be clearer
once I own the book!)
And yes, consensus evidence points firmly at "Jolly Good Fellow" for
Moll Brook > Marlborough.
Best wishes,
Richard.

"Where have you been all the night?" she describes as a "Scotch

It's tempting to think she's mis-remembered the line in "Billy
Boy",
See the Note in the recently published NPS edition of Bewicks Pipe
Tunes, which has a tune of the title which is *not* Billy Boy
Might also possibly apply to Lord Randal
Then there's "Moll Brook"
I presume that the other responses relate to the "For he's a jolly good
fellow" tune - ?
