Eric:
    You do realize, I trust, that almost all of "Sabin, the Woodfitter" is spoken, not sung. Only the last four couplets (in the text Barbara's note above would have led you to read) are sung,
beginning with "East Wind's rain and North Wind's clearing..." The rest is all spoken with guitar accompaniment.
    The melody you recall may scan properly to those couplets.
