According to The Songster's Library and Museum of Mirth: Being Vol. 1 of the Most Extensive Collection of Ancient and Modern Songs in the English Language (Manson, Emerson & Company, 1834), p.105 (-108) the song is sung to the tune of 'Calais Packet' of which there is a recording by The Haymakers see http://my.strathspey.org/dd/tune/5757/; and a brief audio at https://songsfromtheageofsteam.uk/the-english-channel/151-bar050

Dear all,
Does anyone know where I might find either the sheet music or a recording of the tune "Shadrack the Orangeman"? I've tried EBBA and the Bodleian.
Any help very gratefully received.
