Hi Malcolm! Thanks for the Edith Fowke reference. I have never seen Sea Songs and Ballads from Nineteenth Century Nova Scotia but I will look forward to coming across it now. The text above is almost word-for-word from the Flanders Ballad Collection. The melody is in 4/4 time, major key and it is not unlike (though not the same as) "Erin's Lovely Home." All the best, Dan
