Thanks for posting, Kevin.
Ralph's tune has a mixolydian quality like that of Lizzie Higgins's "Aul' Roguey Gray," though it isn't quite the same.
Trad music in Newfoundland owes a lot to Scots influence.
BTW, I think the tune that "Roguey" reminded me of was the one used by A. L. Lloyd for his "Three Drunken Huntsmen," a different song about a more acceptable form of stalking.
