You might like to have a look at the entry at the Traditional Ballad Index: Fair and Tender Ladies, which will also give you some useful clues, though you should pay no attention to the "earliest date" bit! |

(I searched for the word "tender.") It says it was recorded by Edna and Jean Ritchie. ;-) This is not the exact tune I know, but still quite lovely. |
