Subject: RE: Tune Req: The original tune of Willy o' Winsbury?
Same tune was used by Richard Thompson for his "Farewell Farewell" as recorded by Fairport Convention. Actually I think most of Andy Irvine's genius in using this tune for Willy O'Winsbury was in the chords he used to harmonize it. You can't really improve upon them.
