Gently, Johnny, My Jingalo (Traditional)
~ Song
Annotation
"I have taken down only one other variant of this. The words were rather coarse, but I have, I think, managed to re-write the first and third lines of each verse without sacrificing the char- after of the original song. The singer told me he learned it from his father. I have no doubt but that it is a genuine folksong. The tune is partly Mixolydian."
- Cecil Sharp, One Hundred English Folksongs
