Nic Jones's version is terrific, it has to be said - he whacks through it. Does anyone know a good recording of the long form of the ballad? I mean, where they get to Norroway and make a nuisance of themselves, then get kicked out at short notice, which is why they have to put to sea in bad weather. It makes a lot more sense than the short version (although it does go on a bit).

I'll abc my tune when I get a moment. I solfeged it to myself this morning & discovered it's on a total of four notes -

O the King sat in... Dunfermline town...
do do mi   fa so    so so mi   do
