It is perhaps possible that some of these notices were posted by Moore in response to the pirating of his song in the New Prize Medal Song Book ….(this is pure speculation!)
Here’s another example: The Era Sept 28 1873 So The Era (May 12, 1872) carried an Advert for “Daniel Moore, renowned coloured humorist, legitimate instrumentalist and star dancer in conjunction with GREAT LITTLE FRENCH.… author and composer of “Hot Peas” “My Brave Militia Boy” “Buttercup Joe”… Its reasonable to accept this as evidence that the he did write it – it was clearly a well known song and his multiple ads were not challenged (Music Hall songwriters and performers, including Daniel Moore, were quick to challenge claims of authorship and ownership – as testified in The Era‘s letters page!). My searches in The Era have suggest that the song was written by Daniel Moore, who placed regular notices promoting himself as the writer/composer of this and other songs in 1872. Its likely that he did sing it, as a broadside of Buttercup Joe held at the Bodleian Library states that it was Sung by Harry Garrat Favourite Comic. The New Penguin Book of Folk Song suggests the song was sung in the Halls by Harry Garratt in the 1870s, but that the author of the piece was unknown at the time of writing.Īds and reviews in The Era confirm that the comic vocalist Harry Garratt performed in Halls in the North and Midlands of the UK throughout the 1870s, but do not give any detail of his repertoire so do not confirm that he sang the song. There was one contemporaneous publication of the lyrics, it appeared in the New Prize Medal Song Book (No.9), published in June 1872. It was collected a number of times from source singers in England in the early 20th century, though later singers may well have picked up the song from Albert Richardson’s Regal Zonophone recording from 1928. This was a Music Hall song, one of many which poked fun at agricultural workers, but which was widely adopted and loved by rural folksingers.
