Subject: RE: The Unquiet Grave
Child #78, for which Bronson gives 43 tunes in 'The Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads'. The "Gilderoy/ Lazarus/ Star of the County Down" tune is #41, the first in Bronson's group B. Rather different than most, but it seems to be the oldest (Burne's 'Shropshire Folk-Lore', 1886, then Broadwood and Fuller Maitland's 'English County Songs', 1893).
