With most broadside ballads the singers simply set their own tunes to them or used set tunes for that particular stanzaic form. As we only have the one tune currently we have nothing to compare it with other than other ballads. I'll have a listen and see if I can pick out a related tune. Jim Carroll might have had an opinion on Walter's tune but he's currently banned from here unfortunately.
