Oh no! Not "overlaid" (or even "overlain") - in most cases the English were on top old man!
And the last time the English were invaded by a foreign power (apart from the Dutch getting close to ashore in Gravesend and Chatham) was 1066 and most of English folk music is a lot newer than that so it can justifiably be called the English tradition.
