Subject: RE: Tune Req: Streets of Laredo alternate tune
The familiar "Streets of Laredo" tune - first printed, I believe, in John Lomax's "Cowboy Songs" in 1910 - bears a vague resemblance to the first part of "Banks of the Devon," but is clearly not the same tune, though it may belong to the same family.
