Also known as "The Oyle of Barley", "Cold and Raw", "Juice of Barley"<br> and "Lulle/Lull Me Beyond Thee".<br> "Oil of Barley," or "Stingo," is a country dance ("Longways for as<br> many as will") and tune that first appears in the first edition of<br> The English Dancing Master (1651), although "Oil/Oyle of Barley"<br> was always given as an alternate title in the first and subsequent<br> editions. By the 1695 edition of The Dancing Master the melody<br> appeared under the similar title "Juice of Barley".<br> 'Oil of barley' is a euphemism for strong beer (as is the related<br> term 'barley broth'). Thomas D'Urfey employed the melody as a<br> vehicle for his song "Cold and Raw, the North Wind did blow".<br> It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master, vol. 2<br> by The Telemann Society and Country Capers by The<br> New York Renaissance Band.<br>
