Irish songs and realised I was listening to a tune virtually identical to Sydney Carter's 'Judas & Mary' - perhaps his source for the tune? Frustratingly, I now cannot locate that trad. Irish song in my memory or my music collection. Anyone help, please? |

The first verse is: Said Judas to Mary, 'Now what will you do With your ointment so rich and so rare?' 'I'll pour it all over the feet of my Lord And wipe it away with my hair', she said, 'Wipe it away with my hair' |

From: GUEST,Ian cookieless Thanks, Newport Boy, Sydney Carter's tune is indeed very close to that of Henry Martin, so I cannot have recognised the similarity while listening to an Irish album. Oh for the memory I had in my youth. |

From: Jim McLean Hi Ian, What I meant was the lyrics to the tune Sydney used had 'salt sea, salt sea' within them and this is borne out by the answers which point to Henry martin. I couldn't remember the title of the song but those words were going round in my head. |
