Thread Name: 'Covers' of arrangements of trad songs
Subject: RE: 'Covers' of arrangements of trad songs
I was at a singaround where someone did Martin Carthy's "The Famous Flower of Serving Men" to a different tune, citing it as a traditional ballad - but it is in fact made up of parts of more than one ballad (one of which is "The Border Widow's Lament"), plus some bits made up completely by Martin Carthy, who was of course not credited!
