| Ajoutée par magataganm, 05 Fév 2022 “Baloo, My Boy” is a Scottish tune (“baloo” or “balow” being a child’s lullaby) taken from poem allegedly composed by Lady Anne Bothwell – does not appear to have survived as a broadside, it certainly became an extremely popular song in England during the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and was reproduced in various collections of traditional Scottish music. There has been some debate over the content of the ballad, but one suggested gist describes the tune as the lament of an abandoned mother (Anne Bothwell, the Bishop of Orkney’s daughter) whose lover (purportedly Alexander Erskine, son of the Earl of Mar), having jilted her, has subsequently been killed in battle, possibly in 1640. Though Scottish and clearly literary in origin, its resonance with early modern English audiences was clear. Given community and official preoccupations with abandoned mothers, bastardy and runaway fathers (one fairly common consequence of pre-marital sex) and their associated threat to the social order, the ballad would certainly chimed with contemporary concerns. This would certainly account for its absorption into English culture: as well as various representations of Lady Anne Bothwell appearing in later artwork, snippets from the original tune also found their way into other cultural forms, notably Richard Broome’s The Northern Lass (first printed in 1632). Such popularity and adaptability might go some way towards explaining why it was chosen to feature in a Civil War thriller that conveyed other features of early modern England so well.
