I am trying to find the source of the melody to which Lord Franklin (or Lady Franklin's Lament) was written. I know, as you must also, that one of Bob Dylan's early hits used not only the melody but whole lines, i.e. I dreamed a dream and I thought it true of all the friends that I ever knew. I think that Ewan MacColl recorded it. He may have written the tune but it appears that there were earlier versions. Might you have information about this or a suggestion as to where I might go to trace the use of a melody that was probably in the public domain. Thank you. Deborah Parducci dparducci28@compuserve.com
