I'll be kind to you next week on Tues 13th. The theme will be #time and as these songs are essentially orally transmitted you can have #thyme as well. Have fun!

For lovers of traditional songs to share their favourite songs every Tuesday.
@tradsongtues.bsky.social@tradsongtues.bsky.socialI was a bit worried that the theme this week was too hard, but you've been brilliant! And I've really enjoyed hunting out songs to fit in. My last one for today is this song from Cyril Tawney but just be careful as this clip is of the whole album of the same name.
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialWell found! This is the song I was looking for earlier and couldn't find. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialI found this one earlier too, I think it's a great song and one I hadn't heard before. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialLovely little song and it's got the #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialDevon is obviously a good source of hay. Another from this lovely album. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialJolly little song from the Copper Family. Nice one #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialQuite a long song but a good story. Do I detect a little bit of innuendo? #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialYes, another couple would be nice.
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialAmerica seems to be a good source for songs on this particular theme. Really enjoyed this one. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialThings have gone a bit quiet ..... there are more songs out there. If you don't find any more I'll post another couple later. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialFabulous version of Clyde Water from Nic Jones. Well found George #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialI can't find a version of this that I can share - unless one of you can find it? It's on Bandcamp on Jock Duncan's album Aikey Brae to Ythanside if you want to have a listen. A humerous song.
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialTania got there just before you do I won't repost, but an excellent song.
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialExcellent song and I love Jim Causley's voice #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialI really like this one and it has a happy ending! #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialWe've had this once this morning but I thought it was worthwhile posting this very different version. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialYou've beaten me to it! A favourite song of mine that I have sung before. I like the Harry Cox version but there are others. #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialDefinitely some folk elements in this but not traditional. But it has got #strawandhay
@tradsongtues.bsky.socialLovely lively little number that's got me up and dancing 😊 I knew the tune but hadn't heard the words before. And it's got both #strawandhay
