GUEST,Guy Wolff On Lap top Origins: My Dearest Dear & Blackest Crow conect (9) My Dearest Dear /Blackest Crow conect 30 Jul 08

I have been listening and watching at youtube a bunch lately and I found a wonderful version of "The Blackest Crow" played by Bruce Moilski and after listening a few times I realized the words were very close to those of My Dearest Dear .. a song I had learned from a AFS student returning from Finland in 1975who had learned it from a Finish Bluegrass band who learned it in Ireland .. Can any of the experts here give me an idea if My Dearest dear is olderl ?? Is it Irish or scotch or English ?? .. I have heard The Blackest Crow was from the American Civil War .
