Or maybe rabbis?

Hey, thinking about Jake's initial speculation, maybe Sadie was a shady lady?




On the tune thing, the melody Joan Baez used for "Matty Groves" is not at all similar to "Shady Grove." I'm wondering if some American folk singers borrowed the "Shady Grove" tune for the English ballad about Matty Groves when they decided to 'import' that saga?
