OXFORDSHIRE TRAGEDY, THE. AKA and see "Miller and His Sons (The)." English, Air (3/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song appears in The Cobblers' Opera (1729), The Village Opera (1729) and Silvia (1731).

Near Woodstock town, in Oxfordshire,
As I walk'd forth to take the air;
To view the fields and meadows round,
Methought I heard a dreadful sound.
