Shropshire Rounds

The reason I listed Cheshire Rounds last week was that the Cheshire Rounds already here had elements of a tune I know as Shropshire Rounds. So it’s only fair to list Shropshire Rounds as well.
Like Cheshire Rounds I’ve got Shropshire Rounds from William Chappell’s Popular Music of the Olden TIme, and like Cheshire Rounds I have been playing it for years.
Below it’s added in a slightly revised version of Chappell’s arrangement, for two instruments.
