+The history of this tune and dance is convoluted! An
+earlier title for this superb tune was "Stingo, or the Oyl of
+Barley" and it was included with a dance in DM I: 1-8
+(1651-1690). The first strain of the tune shares strong
+family resemblance to "Bobbing Joe" (DM I: 1651-1728).
+Many lyrics were set to the tune, all having in common
+the metaphorical themes of strong ale, and of "selling
+barley,” the feminine equivalent of "sowing wild oats."\\
+In 1688 a "new Scotch Song" set to the tune appeared.
+Written by D'Urfey, it began "Could and Raw the North
+did blow..." With this song came a new popularity for the
+melody, and in 1689, Henry Playford cashed in on it,
+issuing a sheet with six dances, two of them to the tune:
+"Cold and Raw" and "Juice of Barley" (the dance Sharp
+reconstructed). He repeated the latter dance as "Cold and
+Raw" in the next edition of the DM (1:9,1695). After
+Walsh appropriated almost the entire contents of DM L:16
+(1716) for his collection of 1718, the dance was changed
+for the final two editions back to the figures which had
+first appeared as "Cold and Raw" in 1689.
+The following song set to the tune was published in
+.\\
+**Good Ale for My Money**\\
+Be merry my friends, and list a while\\
+Unto a merry jest,\\
+It may from you produce a smile,\\
+When you heare it exprest:\\
+Of a young man lately married,\\
+Which was a boone good fellow;\\
+This song in's head he alwaies carried,\\
+When drink made him mellow.\\
+I cannot go home, nor I will not go home,\\
+It's ‘long of the oyle of Barly,\\
+I'le tarry all night for my delight,\\
+And go home in the morning early.\\
