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!

References numbers are given to:

• Steve Roud, Folk Song Index (London, Vaughan Williams Memorial Library),
• Francis James Child, The English & Scottish Popular Ballads (1882-98, reprinted New York, Dover, 1965),

I've 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’. (These are shown on the song pages, not here in the index.)
