Refer to this topic: http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=68268 I found the second verse above in Rosenbaum's Mary Lomax book, see tune ' The Rambling Boy '(Laws L12) (last section of the book, not on the CDs). One version was by Justis Begley at Anglo-American Ballads Vol. 2 (LoC album) and another by Sue Trotman in 'Art of Field Recording Vol 2 (Dust-to-Digital box). But I don't find them similar. The LP-only release of Folk Banjo Styles does have quite much liner notes, but there is no mention of this tune in the text and I haven't found it elsewhere recorded by anyone. Anyone here at Mudcat that do know where Art Rosenbaum got this tune from ? Thanks!
