Dan, that well could be the one. They use to play it occasionally on a trad music show on an NPR station in Miami. It was accapella and was sung in dialect "..Far frae my bonnie dearing (?), aye many a weary mile." A lovely version. It was the only other place I've heard that melody. That collection sounds interesting, wonder if it's still in print. Bruce, I'm a Ewan McColl fan and I'll try to track that down. Thanks a lot fellas, Frankie
