Brian Peters	Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues (289* d)	RE: Origin: Saint James Infirmary Blues	15 Nov 17
"I have found Crosby's tune, or 'air' 'The Unfortunate Rake' Its in 6/8 and a minor key, with root E. Not easy to sing the words of 'The Unfortunate Lad' to it." Interesting - thanks for the link. There's no great problem fitting the words to it - at least one English collected version is barred in 6:8, though 3:4 is more general. However, although I can see superficial resemblances with the collected tunes, they don't seem very strong to me.
