Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Now my apron strings don't tie

I have enquired in the past with no success about the MELODY to Careless Love and Let No Man Steal Your Thyme (Thyme it is a precious thing) Did someone think that W C Handy's tune fitted the Trad song better than the original , or did W C Handy 'borrow' the old tune ??
