My mistake, Bruce - it was collected from Bell Robertson, but not from her singing of it.

In the notes to the song: "Christie states that his tune is "a set of the Irish Air 'Nancy Vernon.'" Nancy Varnon is in Greig-Duncan, and there is a tune, but I'm not positive it's the same one that Christie referred to. The tune isn't the one Archie Fisher sings.
