Index of Songs and Tunes
This (and the similar Index of Child Ballads and Index of Laws Ballads) is a quite crude song list that is automagically generated from the title lines in the song pages. But at least you can search in it for whatever you need. Have fun!
I’ve also added Steve Gardham’s song ‘master titles’ as listed in his Excel sheet linked to in the Mudcat Café thread Origins: Steve Gardham’s ‘Earliest Versions’ as far as possible.
