Subject: RE: Lyrics? You take the high road & I'll take
Yes. That has already been pointed out in other, more recent threads than this very old one, and text and tune are in the DT as Gight's Ladye. MacColl got it from Last Leaves, I think. The ascription to William Walker is wrong (see Shuldham-Shaw & Lyle, The Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection, II, 1983, 549-550).

I know it's a lot to ask, but would people look at the other threads before re-posting the same things to this one? Reviving it was pointless in the first place.
