Also known as "Northern Turtle", "Oil of Barley", "Cold and Raw" and<br> "Craigieburn Wood".<br> The air was first published in The English Dancing Master in <br> the 1st through the 8th editions from 1650 through 1690.<br> Williamson (1976) states the tune is a variant of an earlier tune<br> called "Oil of Barley" or "Cold and Raw" which was printed by<br> Thomas d'Urfey in 1686, and that D'Urfey believed the tune to be<br> Scots in origin. The English collector Chappell (1859) remarks<br> that the air appears to have been known at first only as<br> "a new Northern tune" but elsewhere he states that tunes so called<br> were English rather than Scots, and that 'northern' refers not to<br> Scotland but to the northern counties of England. Later the Scots<br> national poet, Robert Burns, fashioned a song on this tune entitled<br> "Craigieburn Wood", although the tune is somewhat distanced from<br> the Playford original. <br> It was also printed in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Times (1859),<br> Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909) and Williamson's English, Welsh,<br> Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976).<br> It was recorded on Country Capers by The New York Renaissance Band and<br> A Trip to Kilburn by The Baltimore Consort.<br>
