Lesley N.	Lyr Add: Who Is at My Window Weeping? (4)	RE: Lyr/Chords Add: Who is at my window weeping	08 Apr 00
Steve Roud's Folksong Indext relates it to Laws M4 - "The Drowsy Sleeper." Laws also relates one version of it to "The Silver Dagger" (which Randolph does also) and a Scottish Song "I Will Put My Ship in Order." Randolph also has a variant the singer named "Love Will Find a Way." The earliest collected date seems to be 1907, but one of Randolph's singers said she learned it from her father in 1878. Doerflinger too says the song "became crossed with "The Silver Dagger" - and says it is an "Anglo-Irish ballad" but doesn't add more history. Beautiful song and Barry did a wonderful midi (as always!)
