thank you so much! i just looked up It was an English Ladye Bright & i remember the part "The sun shines fair on Carlisle wall" quite clearly

i'll try & find Linda Adams The Sun Shines Fair (Cruel Mother) as it appears Alaisdar Roberts hasn't recorded/released a version of it. was the tune in her version similar to this one?



thanks again!
