BAILIFF'S DAUGHTER, THE. AKA and see "The Jolly Pinder," "The Baily's Daughter of Islington." English, Air (4/4 time). G Minor. Standard tuning. One part. The song appears in the ballad opera The Jovial Crew (1731). The air appears to be considerably older, however, and appears in a lute MS found by Dr. Rimbault. There was a youth, and a well-belov'd youth, And he was a Squire's son; He loved the bailiff's daughter dear, That lived in Islington.
