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