Love in the Tub (per Malcolm:This is a Missouri text noted in 1910, for which no tune was
recorded. There are a number of broadside examples (Love in a tub; or, the Old miser
outwitted), but none of the accessible ones name a tune. However, Claude M. Simpson
(The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music, 1966) mentions a broadside entitled A
New Song called Love in a Tub (c. 1683), which was sung to the tune of Daniel Cooper.
Now, this may be a completely different song; but it seems to be the nearest we are likely
to get.
Midi
made from the notation given in Playford's Dancing Master (9th edition, 1695,
reproduced in Simpson's book), with the caveat that this is only a guess at a tune for this
particular text.) |
