True Terry. Have you heard the Ossian or Capercaillie versions? To my ears, the first two phrases of June Tabor and Shirley Collin's versions are extremely similar, but with the last two phrases, I cannot clearly make out if June Tabor's is based Shirley Collin's. Moore says Tony Cuffe wrote the tune - do you think he might have started off with the same source Shirley Collins did, which would explain the similar first two phrases?
