Annotation:Black Cock o' Whickham (2) (The)
X:1 T:Black Cock of Whickham [2] & never ran away N:Copied by the Melodies Committee of the Society of Antiquaries for N:their 1857-1887 compilation project of local Newcastle tunes and airs. N:This "Black Cock of Whickham" is not musically related to "Black Cock N:of Whickham [1]," but rather is a version of "Braes of Balquhidder." N:This appears to be a flawed version of the melody.
