Waterson/Carthy recorded (on the CD Commonm Tongue) a version of Claudy Banks to what is basically a 6/8 version of the Star of the etc. Another version is used for Lily of the West etc etc.

I seem to remember someone remarking, only half-jokingly, that "There are only four tunes in the whole of the Ulster Song Tradition - and three of them are versions of the Star of the COunty Down"!
