GUEST,brightyoungfolk Origins: The Whitby Maid (21) RE: Origins: The Whitby Maid 21 Jan 09

Does anyone know if this song is traditional, or if not, do you know who wrote it? Anyone know the songs origins? Also does the version on 'two' use the tune normally associated with this song, or did Kathryn Roberts just attach a tune to it for the purpose of the CD?

Sorry to ask so many questions- its just that I want to learn this song and therefore wish to know its backstory :)
