Sandy Paton	Tune Req: The Babe of Bethlehem (4)	RE: Tune Req: The Babe of Bethlehem	04 Nov 99
I imagine the one you're seeking is the one recorded by the Golden Ring on Folk-Legacy - recently reissued as our CD-16 CLICK HERE. If so, the Golden Ring folk learned it from Southern Harmony, first printed in New Haven in 1835. George Pullen Jackson reprinted it in Spiritual Folk-Songs of Early America (New York, 1937). The tune is generally associated with the old ballad "Dives and Lazarus" (Child #56). Hope this helps. Sandy
