Ahhh, thanks syren,
That sounds like what I have been searching for...
I might be able to hang on till then...
That book I mentioned had other gem in it that I suspected may have been "original traditional" .. it also had a version of "House of the Rising Sun" but from the female perspective... it was much clearer just what sort of "fallen woman" (to quote another thread) she was - I never thought the male perspective made much sense...
