'''OIL OF BARLEY.''' AKA - "Oyle of Barley (The)." AKA and see "[[Stingo]]," "[[Cold and Raw]]," "[[Juice of Barley (1)]]," and "[[Lulle Me Beyond Thee]]." English, Air. A Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Oil of Barley," or "[[Stingo]]," first appears in London publisher John Playford's first edition of the '''English Dancing Master''' (1651), although "Oil/Oyle of Barley" was always given as an alternate title. By the 1695 edition of the '''Dancing Master''' (published by son Henry Playford) the melody appeared under the similar title "[[Juice of Barley]]." 'Oil of barley' is a euphemism for strong beer (as is the related term 'barley broth'). Thomas D'Urfey employed the melody as a vehicle for his song "Cold and Raw, the North did blow." | '''OIL OF BARLEY.''' AKA - "Oyle of Barley (The)."
