Back to My Lodging is on the Cold Cold Ground
MY LODGING'S IN/ON THE COLD, COLD GROUND (Is Mo Loistin an Talam Fuar). AKA and see "Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms," "Oh Shrive Me Father," "When the dove Left the Ark," "Duty and Love." English, Air and Waltz; Irish, Slow Air (3/4 time); Scottish, Pipe March (6/8 time). G Major (most versions): F Major (Clinton): A Mixolydian (Ross). Standard tuning (fiddle). One part (O'Farrell): AB (Chappell, Kennedy, O'Neill, Raven): AAB (Ross): AABB (Clinton, Kerr). This has been a very popular and enduring melody since its first appearance in print in Vocal Music, or The Songster's Companion of 1775. However, the lyrics in one form or another are considerably older and were set to another tune composed by Matthew Lock which appeared in the year 1664 (see "On the Cold Ground, or I Prethee, Love, Turn to Me"). At some point in the next century the old tune was discarded and the familiar one substituted. "My Lodging's..." was played as a Tattoo during the American Civil War, signalling bed-time and "lights out" in the military camp.
The air was entered into the 1840 music manuscript collection of multi-instrumentalist John Rook of Waverton, Cumbria. American musician M.E. Eames also included it in his 1859 copybook (p. 74), set in the key of 'D' major. See also note for "Annotation:Believe Me if All Those Endearing Young Charms" for more.
