X:1 T:Moldywarp. Roose.0001 T:Moldwarp. (Talea Europeae) Roose.0001 T:Modiewark. Roose.0001 B:J.Roose MS, Manchester, 1850 Z:Village Music Project 2019 Eric Conrad D:Argo ZFB.67 (1968). Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger. The Wanton Muse. N:Ewan MacColl, editor. Folk songs and ballads of Scotland. 1965 (Oak, NY) p61. M:6/8 L:1/8 Q:3/8=120 N:According to Chris Walshaw in the ABC transcribers' group, 'moldywarp' is a N:colloquial term for 'mole'. (Thanks to commenters who helped to decipher the title.) N: N:From dictionary.com, 'moldwarp' (no 'y') refers to the common European mole Talea europeae. N:(The word comes through Middle English from Old Saxon and means earth-thrower. Both N:'mole' and 'mold' are cognates for the first word in the compound.) The term "modiewark", N:seems to now refer to an alternating current field detector. N: N:Jack Campin alerted me to Ewan MacColl's version of a bawdy ballad called "Modiewark", N:collected by Robert Burns. MacColl's tune appears to be essentially the same tune N:as found in the MS, but keyed in Gm, with a singing tempo of 3/8=56, and with N:a number of embellishments for singing. The title is printed (possibly censored) N:as "Nowdiewark" on the Argo record in the discography above. In the 1965 Oak book, N:the title is printed as "Modieward", but this is probably just a misprint. N: N:"The modiewark has done me ill, And below my apron has biggit a hill; I maun consult some learned N:clark About this wanton modiewark. An' o the wanton modiewark..." -- from Robert Burns K:Dm |: d | cAF BAG | A2F F2d | cAF BAG | F2D D2d | cAF BAG | A2F F2F | GAB A2G | F2D D2 :| |: A | fef gfg | ac'a gfe | fed efg | a2A A3 | fef gfg | ac'a gfe | fed cAc | d2D D2 :|
