An excerpt from the Preface: These Vagabond Pieces - poor as poetry often admittedly - I esteem of no small value. As a species of folk-lore, even the rudest of them are eminently deserving of rescue. Some are dear to us as "sangs our mithers sang." All for one reason or another - but chiefly for the joy they have given to Scottish rural life- are particularly interesting. My long-cherished conviction that they were wanted in budget form - though I collected originally for my own satisfaction alone.... Many songs and ballads are here, to be sure, which in the strictest sense may not be claimed as vagabonds. Their character, nevertheless, has brought them into the same company; they have lived the vagabond life with the homeless and rapidly-disappearing wanderers for which it is our avowed object to provide permanent housing; and having been found with these, so they are maintained with them in boon companionship - some later pieces being added. All, with their appended notes - and here and there the original airs, not less vagabond than the songs themselves - it is hoped, will find ready and agreeable acceptance. Among the rarer ditties embraced (each with its original melody), will be found "The Bonnet o' Blue," "Bonnie Jeanie Cameron," "A Lassie Lives by yonder Burn," "Jean and Caledonia," "Brannan on the Moor," "The Heights of Alma," "The Gallant Hussar," "A-Begging we will Go," "When John's Ale was New," "The Jolly Ploughboy," "The Banks o' Claudy," and "The Feeing Time," not to mention others equally representative of the class which will be readily recognised as old time favourites. Well, so much for that. Now, in a word, I thank the numerous correspondents - north, east, south, and west - for their esteemed assistance, by fishing out and sending at my request, copies of oral songs for comparison, each as he found them lingering in his district. Very specially I acknowledge my indebtedness to the late Mr. Craibe Angus, so well known in art circles in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, and to Mr. George Gray, the respected town-clerk of Rutherglen, who freely submitted for perusal, to aid in the work, each his very extensive and valuable collection of Scottish Song Chapbooks. To Mr. D. Kippen, Crieff, I am again under pleasing obligation for a number of the more characteristic and hitherto unrecorded melodies. Thanks are due, and gratefully tendered also, to Mr. George Taggart, Glasgow, for his painstaking and esteemed revision of some of the airs.

Originally published in 1977. The Travellers, from those living in bow-tents and horse-drawn caravans to those dwelling in motor caravans and permanent homes, are an important source of traditional music. Their society means that songs that have died out in more settled communities are preserved among them. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, widely known as two of the founding singers of the British and American folk revivals, here display a vast fund of folklore scholarship around the songs of British travelling people. Resulting from extensive collecting in southern and southeastern England and central and northeastern Scotland in the 1960s and 70s, this book contains 130 songs with music and comprehensive notes relating them to folkloristic and historical points of interest. It includes traditional ballads and ballads of broadside origin, bawdy, tragic and humorous songs about love, work and death. Most are in English or in Scots dialect with four in Anglo-Romani.

This book presents old-time Michigan, its songs and their tunes, collected and edited by Emelyn E. Gardner, a folklorist of wide experience, the author of Folklore from the Schoharie Hills, with the aid of Geraldine Jencks Chickering. Michigan's early settlers, coming from the older eastern states, both north and south, with many from England, Scotland, and the British North American possessions, brought with them their songs, which they sang happily at work and play, handing them down from generation to generation, and often adapting centuries-old ballads to their new environment. Many worked for a time in the woods and picked up the mournful, or jolly, ballads that were circulated through the camps by lumberjacks drifting in from the Maine and Canadian forests. There are old folks still alive who treasure these ancient songs, and young people who have learned them from their parents and grandparents—or even from the radio. Ballads and Songs of Southern Michigan collects and preserves these cherished possessions of the old frontier. With scholarly accuracy their history is recounted; the names of those who sang them are reported. The tunes of many are reproduced; there are ample indices and bibliography. Wilfred B. Shaw's ink drawings add much to the charm of the book. It is a worthy addition both to the literature of folklore and balladry, and to that of pioneer American history.
