MY USELESS SCRIP(T). AKA - "Farewel my useless scrip." Scottish, English; Air (cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Farewel my useless scrip" was a song attributed to 'Mr. Forcer', printed in Thomas D'Urfey's Wit and Mirth: or, Pills to Purge Melancholy vol. VI (1719-20, p. 320). It was an older piece, however, and was published (as "A New Song set by Mr. Forcer") in The Alamode Musician (1698), printed by Henry Playford. The words begin:
Farewell my useless scrip and poor unheeded flocks,
No more you'll round me trip, nor cloath me with your Locks,
Few by yon purling stream where Jockey, where Jockey first I knew,
I only think, I only think, I only think on him,
I cannot, cannot, cannot think of you.
English composer John Blow (1648-1708) fashioned a setting of the song in 1699.
