Contents: * Abbreviations * List of Authors * List of Indexers * Initials Used in the Notes *
Book titles in the Traditional Ballad Index have been abbreviated to save space. We have tried to make the abbreviations obvious. The abbreviations used are listed below.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, books are fully indexed, i.e. all
items in the books have been included in the Index. Some books which contain
both folk and non-folk songs have been partially indexed -- that is, only
songs known to be folk or already included in the index have been included
in the references. Partially indexed books are marked
In the list that follows, if no indexer has been listed for the book, it means that it has not yet been fully indexed.
Care should always be taken to see whether a book is indexed by Page or by Number, i.e. the song number in the collection. (Numbers have been preferred where possible, as they are less likely to change with new editions.) In general, pages are preceded by the symbol p. or pp. (e.g. Cray, pp. 1-2) and numbers are simply noted (e.g. Child 200).
For books added starting with version 1.6, the list shows the release which first included the book (e.g. Belden was added in Release 1.6).
NOTE: This is a textbook rather than a songbook, and as such contains both fragments of songs and full songs. All the complete songs have been indexed; fragments have been indexed when they include a tune or a significant amount of text; individual stanzas or lines generally aren't indexed.
-- Hazel Arnett, I Hear America Singing! Great Folk
Songs from the Revolution to Rock (1975). Ballads cited by Page.
Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: The final section of this book ("Atomic Age to Space Age," pp. 179-225) consists entirely of composed material that does not appear to have entered oral tradition, and has not been indexed.
-- William S. Baring-Gould and Ceil (yes, that's "Ceil") Baring-Gould,
The Annotated Mother Goose 1962. Ballads cited by Number
and Page. Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz. Added in v. 2.1.
NOTE: This isn't a songbook as such, and sources are indicated in murky ways at best. But there is so much that is related to traditional song (some 200 items) that I indexed it as best I could. The annotations are frequently useful, if far from complete.
NOTE: If you want to understand Omar Blondahl's place in the Newfoundland revival read Omar Blondahl's Contribution to the Newfoundland Folksong Canon by Neil Rosenberg in Canadian Journal for Traditional Music, 1991, Vol 19 available at the site of Canadian Journal for Traditional Music Archives. See also LP Recordings of Traditional Newfoundland Music by Michael Taft in Canadian Journal for Traditional Music, 1974, Vol 2 available at the site of Canadian Journal for Traditional Music Archives. There is a brief biography of Omar Blondahl in the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada.
(I have not indexed "Robin Hood Song," Blondahl p. 61, a song Blondahl wrote about the book's sponsor: Robin Hood Flour Mills Limited; that song was in the center signature which is missing from my copy of the book, not available from any of my sources including Robin Hood Flour Mills Limited, and would probably have been omitted in any case. - BS)
-- B. A. Botkin, A Treasury of American Folklore
(1944). Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: Botkin contains occasional odds and ends of songs throughout, but only the sections devoted specifically to music (Part Six, Sections II ("Singing and Play=Party Games") and II ("Ballads and Songs"), pp. 803-918) have been indexed.
-- B. A. Botkin, A Treasury of Mississippi River Folklore
(1955). Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Nathan Rose.
NOTE: Botkin contains occasional odds and ends of songs throughout, but only the section devoted specifically to music (Part Nine ("Where the Blues Begin"), pp. 556-598) has been indexed.
-- B. A. Botkin, A Treasury of New England Folklore
(1965). Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: Botkin contains occasional odds and ends of songs throughout, but only the section devoted specifically to music (Part Five, Sections I ("Ballads and Songs"), pp. 526-590) has been indexed.
-- B. A. Botkin, A Treasury of Southern Folklore
(1949; reprinted 1977). Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Nathan Rose.
-- B. A. Botkin and Alvin F. Harlow, eds., A Treasury of Railroad Folklore:
The Stories, Tall Tales, Traditions, Ballads and Songs of the American Railroad Men
(1953). Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Nathan Rose.
-- Olive Woolley Burt, American Murder Ballads and Their Stories (1958).
Ballads cited by Page. Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz. Added in
v. 1.8.
NOTE: This is a very inconsistent book, citing scraps of doggerel along with genuine songs, and with inconsistent (and sometimes highly inaccurate) notes. Much that is included is clearly not traditional. And much of what is included has had large sections chopped out. Nonetheless I have indexed everything which appears it might be traditional, even if only excerpted.
-- William Chappell, Old English Popular Music. Revised by H. Ellis Wooldridge (1893).
Ballads cited by Volume and Page of the
two-volume edition (now published in one volume, but the pagination follows the
two-volume edition). Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: Various editions of Chappell have appeared, under various titles; this is probably the most widely accessible; sadly, while it gives the tunes in correct modes, it omits most of the lyrics and all of the songs known only from tradition, meaning that a student of Chappell needs both the original and this edition.
-- Harold Courlander, Negro Folk Music U.S.A. (1963).
Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book consists of commentary on fragments of songs. All items for which both texts and tunes are offered have been indexed, as well as songs found elsewhere, plus texts which complete enough to be indexable. However, this must be considered somewhat arbitrary; it probably depends on how tired I was while indexing.
--
Charles W. Darling, The New American Songster: Traditional Ballads and Songs
of North America (Revised edition, 1992).
Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This is a curious book, with no field collections, no tunes, a number of non-traditional songs, and fluctuating levels of research, but contains a large number of hard-to-find texts; it is indexed on that basis.
NOTE: Buchan has taken the tunes for the ballads directly from printed sources -- e.g. the tunes of the Child ballads are copied directly from Bronson, including conjectures.
NOTE: This is a rather confusing book, with a section of texts (all songs listed under their Child titles), then a section of tunes (listed under their regional titles), then a list (Appendix A) of additional unprinted versions. The notes attempt to reflect this division.
NOTE: Although the various Doyle books share a title and publisher, they are so heavily revised as to constitute effectively new books (e.g. Doyle2 and and Doyle3 are listed by the indexers as having 19 songs in common, but there are 20 songs in Doyle2 that were removed in Doyle3, and Doyle3 adds 29 songs not in the earlier edition). For this reason, the various editions are indexed separately.
--
(No author), The Dime Song Book #2 (A Collection of
New and Popular Comic and Sentimental Songs). (Originally published 1860;
now available in an undated reissue from Applewood Books).
Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert B. Waltz.
-- "The Digital Tradition" (edited by Dick Greenhaus
& Susan Friedman). Ballads are cited by the number and eight letter
abbreviation used in the Digital Tradition. Indexed by Robert Waltz and
Susan Friedman. Versions with tunes are marked *. Songs which are marginally
related have their abbreviations enclosed in parentheses.
NOTE: Because the Digital Tradition is constantly being updated, the list given here may not be up-to-date, and the total number of texts and tunes is not listed. Since the Digital Tradition includes a large number of non-traditional pieces, no attempt has been made to index all the songs it contains. It also includes modern parodies and take-offs on traditional ballads; these are not indexed. The general "target" has been the April 1998 release, the last one I've seen in pure text form. You can examine the Digital Tradition at http://www.mudcat.org/threads.cfm.
NOTE: The Fifes often lump songs that are clearly unrelated; special attention should be paid to which texts go with which song families.
NOTE: Because Flanders selected the songs, but Coffin annotated them, the headnotes to the song sometimes disagree with the classifications by Flanders herself. Flanders was an extreme lumper, Coffin had a much greater willingness to admit that not everything is descended from Child Ballads.
-- James J. Fuld, The Book of World-Famous Music
(1971-1995). Ballads cited by Page.
Partially Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This is not a songbook, and properly not even a folk music book (the subhead is "Classical, Popular, and Folk"). It is, however, a useful and portable reference for copyright and first appearance information. Because it includes non-traditional material, it is indexed only for songs which appear in the Ballad Index from other books. N.B. Later editions of Fuld preserve the pagination of the 1971 edition, with additional information added in an addendum. Entries with additional information in the addendum are marked +.
NOTE: The publishers were unwilling to publish the full collection of Michigan songs, meaning that this book contains an appendix listing 125 or so songs found by the authors which were not published. Naturally these songs cannot be positively identified. I have indexed them in the form cf. Gardner/Chickering, p. X, [song titles] (source notes only) where I am reasonably sure (say 80% confident) I know the song to which they refer. Where I am not confident, the songs have not been indexed, even if I have a guess.
--
James J. Geller, Famous Songs and their Stories (1931).
Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz. Added in v. 1.6.
-- Douglas Gilbert, Lost Chords: The Diverting Story of American
Popular Songs (1942). Ballads cited by Page. Partially
indexed by Robert Waltz.
-- John Greenway, American Folksongs of Protest (1953). Ballads cited by
Page. Partially indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book prints song texts and descriptive notes (including source information and textual comments) separately; in the citations, the first part is the location of the song text; the part following the plus sign is the location of the notes.
--
W. C. Handy, editor, Blues: an Anthology
(1926, 1949, 1972). Revised by Jerry Silverman, introduction by Abbe Niles, illustrations
by Miguel Covarrubias. Ballads cited by Page. Indexed
by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This is a revised version of Handy's original 1926 book, with some original songs plus modifications of the arrangements (mostly to add guitar chords). Most of the material in this book is not folk; it consists of composed blues pieces. But it contains the earliest references I could find to several songs; I thought it worth indexing at first glance. In hindsight, I was wrong -- but why take it out after it's done?
NOTE: Written in 1945, but not published till 1962, ten years after Harlow's death. Earliest Date references are based on the date of Harlow's manuscript.
--
(Charles E. Elliot, editor), The Harvard Classics: English Poetry, Volume I (From
Chaucer to Gray) (1937). Ballads cited by Page. Partially
indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book includes over 130 pages of ballads, carefully glossed although with absolutely no source information; it is probably primarily useful to non-ballad-scholars.
-- James N. Healy, The Mercier Book of Old Irish Street Ballads, Volume Two:
History and Politics (1969). Ballads cited by Page.
Partially indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book gives no indication of sources, and does not distinguish purely political poems from genuine folksongs. I've generally indexed only items already in the Index.
-- Lois Hill, Poems and Songs of the Civil War (1990). Ballads cited by Page.
Partially indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book includes large sections of non-traditional songs and poems, which have not been indexed.
NOTE: Hugill's book has been published in many different forms, abridged, cleaned up, and otherwise fiddled with. The indexed version is the full 1961 text. I have secondarily indexed one of these alternate editions, the 1994 Mystic Seaport edition, which eliminates all the foreign-language shanties plus eliminates certain fragments and short texts. Not every song in Hugill has an entry in the abridged edition, but where they are, they are cited in brackets, e.g. [AbEd, p. 1] means that the song is found on page one in the abridged edition.
--
Gale Huntington, Songs the Whalemen Sang (1964/1970). Ballads cited by
Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: Huntington sometimes found it hard to determine which songs in his sources were traditional, and erred far beyond the side of inclusiveness. In general, I have only indexed songs where he indicated an alternate source, or which I recognized as traditional.
NOTE: This book has an incredibly complex publishing history, which results in a peculiar scheme of entries. It was originally issued as two booklets, by Cox, Halpert, and Herzog, with separate song numerations. In 1964 it was re-edited and reissued by Boswell, and printed as one book with the old numbers retained but with continuous pagination. The entries reflect this, allowing the Index data to be used either for the original mimeographed booklets or the 1964 edition. Page numbers refer to the 1964 edition. But the entry itself refers to either JHCoxIIA (Traditional Ballads Mainly from West Virginia) and JHCoxIIB (Folk Songs Mainly from West Virginia).
-- John Henry Johnson, editor, Bawdy Ballads and Lusty Lyrics (1935/1950).
Ballads cited by Page.
NOTE: Despite the title, this is not really a book of bawdy songs; it consists of poems and traditional songs on "impolite" themes -- but the few pieces that are not fit for polite company have been at least somewhat bowdlerized.
--
Peter Kennedy, Folksongs of Britain and Ireland
(1975). Ballads cited by Number. Indexed by Paul J. Stamler (mostly
the tough ones) and Robert B. Waltz.
NOTE: All English-language traditional songs in this volume have been indexed, but those in other languages are indexed only when they appear to have some connection with English-language tradition.
--
Marjory Kennedy-Fraser and Kenneth Macleod,
Songs of the Hebrides, two volumes, 1909 and 1917. Ballads cited by
Page.
NOTE: Since all songs in this book are Gaelic, the decision when to index has been difficult. Several have been recorded in the English translations made for this book! In general, and with hesitation, I have indexed when a song occurs in some other collection or has been recorded, though few if any have actually been collected in English guise -- RBW.
--
[George R. Kinloch], The Ballad Book, 1827. Ballads cited by
Number and Page.
NOTE: This is a difficult book to index, since none of the songs are attributed and it is clear that some are traditional and some not. I've guessed as best I could. -- RBW
NOTE: This book describes a number of songs for which no music is included. As none of these pieces is traditional, only songs for which words and music are supplied are indexed.
Note that Laws does not ordinarily include texts of the ballads he cites, although sample stanzas are usually given.
-- W. H. Logan, A Peddlar's Pack of Ballads and Songs
(1869). Ballads cited by Page. Partially indexed by Robert Waltz.
--
Ewan MacColl, The Shuttle & Cage: Industrial
Folk Ballads (1954). Ballads cited by Page.
Indexed by Robert B. Waltz. Added in version 2.2.
--
J. S. Manifold, The Penguin Australian Songbook (1964). Ballads
cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz. NOTE: This book is
fully indexed except for a handful of composed songs in the final section.
-- John Meredith, R. Covell, P. Brown,
Folk Songs of Australia, Volume II (1987). Ballads cited by
Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book regards itself as the sequel to Meredith/Anderson (which is now published as Folk Songs of Australia, Volume I. The style of the two books is, however, very different. Volume II is much more a tunebook, consisting primarily of instrumentals. The level of research is lower, and the background information on the songs more limited. In the end, I was reduced largely to guessing which pieces qualified as actual folk songs.
-- Mary Wheeler,
Steamboatin' Days: Folk Songs of the River Packet Era (1944). Ballads cited by
Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This is a very difficult book to work with. Wheeler collected her material mostly from Black riverboat workers and their dependents, but her relationship with her informants was complex (they didn't like singing the rougher material to a "lady," and she gives occasional slight hints of racism). Nor does Wheeler apply any real organization to her work -- not only does she not make any references to other works containing the songs, she does not even list other occurrence of the same song in her own work. This, combined with the bluesy/floating verse nature of many of the songs, makes identification difficult. The majority of the songs have been filed somewhere (though I skipped a handful), but often they are classified based on a single verse characteristic of a better-defined song.
-- Norah & William Montgomerie,
Scottish Nursery Rhymes (1964). Ballads cited by
Number. Indexed by Robert Waltz. Added in v. 2.2.
NOTE: The Montgomeries produced several earlier nursery rhyme books. This is a reduced and de-scotticised version of their collection. As such, it is very difficult to use: There are no indications of sources, and any random rhyme may have been edited lightly or heavily. Properly the source books should be cited, and this ignored -- but this seems to be the most available of the Montgomerie books.
NOTE: Unless there is a specific comment that the song was popular there is no assumption that a ballad is "FOUND IN: Ireland." Moylan writes that "the book started its life as a collection of traditional material, but along the way I came across much material that was so interesting or entertaining that it begged for inclusion." Some entries are analogous to considering the Bernie Taupin/Elton John 1975 "Philadelphia Freedom" to be a reference for the American Revolution; for example, Moylan includes not only Madden's "Captain Dwyer," printed in his 1887 "Literary Remains...," but Fowler's "Michael Dwyer's Lament" written in 1998, about the 1798 rebel and guerilla.
NOTE: Niles is known to have retouched a number of the pieces he worked with. The consensus of scholars is that Niles's book, and his source notes, should not be considered reliable.
-- Marcia and Jon Pankake, A Prairie Home Companion Folk Song Book
(1988). Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book was very difficult to index, as it does not indicate sources and includes a large number of obvious fakes (e.g. suggestions for tunes for Poe's "The Raven"). On the other hand, it includes a large amount of genuinely folk material (particularly children's songs) not found elsewhere (because no one else has bothered publishing it). As a result, I've indexed it as best I can (often relegating things to the "Same Tune" field). If someone can demonstrate that an unindexed song is actually traditional, I'd like to hear about it.
NOTE: If you plan to use Peacock as the basis for research you should read An Operative Model for Analyzing Kenneth Peacock's Newfoundland Song Collection by Anna Kearney Guigne in Canadian Folk Music Bulletin, Summer 2003, Vol 37.2 [ISSN 0829-5344], pp. 1-6.
Guigne listened to Peacock's field recordings and interviewed him in 1994. Her article includes her observations about Peacock's approach and the ways his ear and preferences affect the collection. Of course, the same kind of effects are true of every collection but Guigne's article is specific to Peacock's.
-- Thomas Percy, Reliques of Ancient English Poetry
edited by Henry B. Wheatley (contains Percy's complete original texts and
notes, with annotations plus many texts from the Percy folio manuscript).
Three volumes. Ballads cited by Volume number and page. Indexed
by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book contains, in additional to traditional lyrics, a great deal of poetry, mostly from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. Sometimes it is hard to tell which is which. The attempt has been made to index the most popular pieces even if they cannot be shown to be traditional.
NOTE: It is probably not possible to write an unbiased history of English-Irish relations. Nonetheless, Galvin's text is so viciously, gloatingly anti-British as to sometimes distort the facts. My notes may be slightly more pro-British than is fair as a result. I'm still trying to correct some of my irritated reactions to his extreme prejudice. -- RBW
-- American Favorite Ballads: Tunes and Songs as sung by Pete Seeger
(1961; Edited for publication by Irwin Silber and Ethel Raim; Editorial
Assistant: Daryl Heymann; Music transcribed and edited by Ethel Raim).
Ballads cited by Page. Partially indexed by Paul J. Stamler.
NOTE: Although a possessor of the first edition of Randolph will possess all the material found in this book, Cohen's additional notes are useful, and it contains songs which were omitted from the second printing of Randolph for copyright reasons. In addition, the music has been reset and the whole gives a more attractive appearance. The book has been indexed for this reason. -- RBW
NOTE: Song titles are not given with the sheet music in this book. They have been taken from the text and/or index, and therefore are placed in [brackets] in the Index entries.
NOTE: The second edition differs from the first in the addition of four songs, "Loving Hannah," "Loving Henry," "Her Mantle So Green," and "The Reckless and Rambling Boy." This, plus changes in the typesetting, has caused the pagination to change, but the differences do not seem substantial enough to justify indexing the first edition separately.
-- Kinney Rorrer, Rambling Blues: The Life & Songs of Charlie Poole
(1982). Ballads cited by Page.
Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This is primarily a biography of Poole, but it also includes complete texts of Poole's songs and extremely detailed discographic information; it can in effect be considered the liner notes for the County reissues of Poole recordings (which include no useful information).
-- Steve Roud's Folksong Index, a database pointing to roughly 100,000 song citations
plus broadsides, etc. Citations by Roud Number. To purchase, contact
sroud@btinternet.com.
Indexed by Robert Waltz. Added in version 1.7.
NOTE: Note that not all these citations are actual texts or tunes; some are mere mentions in reference books. In addition, Roud has a strong philosophy of lumping songs, whereas the Ballad Index splits. Thus it should not be assumed that the fact that every Roud number corresponds exactly with the Ballad Index item for which it is cited. (For instance, Roud lumps "The Baffled Knight" and "The New-Mown Hay" as Roud #11. Even more extreme is Roud #2, which includes every "Unfortunate Rake" variant, from "Rake" itself to "Jack Combs" to "The Streets of Laredo" even to, apparently, "Saint James Infirmary.") Also, the Roud Index, like the Ballad Index, is an ongoing work, and so there is no possible way to keep the two indices entirely coordinated.
NOTE: This book probably should have been partially rather than fully indexed; it contains far too many modern pieces, some of them rather political and many of them frankly very bad. But this was not evident in the early going, and once I'd started, there seemed little reason to stop. But over two-thirds of the pieces in this book were not found in any other indexed volume at the time I indexed it.
-- Julie Saffel, editor, Cowboy Poetry
(2001). Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This isn't a songbook, and it consists primarily of poems rather than folk songs. The last 20% of the book, however, consists of items from John A. Lomax's Cowboy Songs, and since Saffel is available as of the time of indexing, and Cowboy Songs isn't, it seemed appropriate to index the book for the Lomax content. If you have Cowboy Songs, forget it.
-- Steven Saunders and Deane L. Root, The
Music of Stephen C. Foster: Volume 2, 1856-1869
(1990). Ballads cited by Page. Indexed by Robert Waltz.
NOTE: Consists of reproductions of Foster's published songs, with critical notes following. Both sheet music and notes are cited in the Ballad Index notes.
It should be noted that this book is for popular consumption, not true scholarly study; nearly every text has been edited (usually padded, though some have been expurgated)
This is a sort of semi-popular book; there are few source notes about the songs, some of which are probably not traditional, though there is no way to know which except to see which ones don't show up elsewhere.
NOTE: A handful of songs by Sam Henry (e.g. H515, "The Mountain Road," H535a, "Waulking Song," H546, "The Cup of Gold," H630, "Irish Lullaby for the Christ Child," H645, "Raven-Locks," H713, "Seal Song") have not been indexed, nor has "Pat Muldoney," which seems to have been included in the column by order of someone other than Sam Henry. Also omitted is H523, "Dun Ceithern," which may not be by Henry but is certainly no folk song.
--
Fred and Irwin Silber, Folksinger's Wordbook (1973). Ballads cited
by Page. Partially indexed by Paul J. Stamler and Robert Waltz.
NOTE: This book gives no source information at all about the songs contained, and at least some seem to have been edited. It is included not as an authoritative reference but as a relatively portable source containing texts of an extremely large number of traditional songs.
-- Sigmund Spaeth, Read 'Em and Weep (Revised edition 1945). Ballads cited
by Page. Partially indexed by Robert Waltz
-- Sigmund Spaeth, Weep Some More, My Lady (1927). Ballads cited
by Page. Partially indexed by Robert Waltz
-- Robert D. Stevick, One Hundred Middle English Lyrics (1964).
Ballads cited by Number. Partially indexed by Robert Waltz
NOTE: This book has no date listed anywhere. The last date mentioned in the text is 1892; it is known to have been in print by 1900, and that date has been used in the "Earliest Date" field. The New York Public Library lists it as being published in 1899. The edition indexed is the 1973 Norwood Editions reprint, which appears however to be a copy of the original Walter Scott printing, so the page references should also apply to the original edition. I think.
NOTE: This book has been fully indexed -- i.e. every alleged piece of song is included in the Ballad Index. But only a relative handful of the songs (about 40) can be demonstrated to be traditional. Many others are collected from their alleged authors, and I suspect that several were written by Thomas herself and identified as being left at her door or the like. Also, she is very bad about giving titles; some are found in her text, some in her index (and I may have failed to notice some of those), but most are editorial.
NOTE: The numbered ballads in Parts 2 and 3 are, in Zimmermann's words [p. 117], "intended to illustrate the first part of the book.... On the whole, the texts have been selected as particularly representative rather than for their celebrity or literary merit"; unless there is a specific comment that the song was popular there is no assumption that a ballad is "FOUND_IN: Ireland". Zimmermann sometimes shows a tune that is "most probably" the one for the text; read his notes before assuming the tune shown is the tune that was sung for the text; he notes [p. 118] that only for three songs "did I find a tune printed in the nineteenth century with the very text I reproduce." Finally, there are many fragments in Part 1 that are not indexed; a Part 1 fragment is indexed only if it is substantial and there is a more complete text from another source.
