Speaking of unusual tunes--the transcription to "Bury Me Not in the Deep, Deep Sea," in K. Peacock, Songs of the Newfoundland Outports, is in the unusual rhythm of 5/4. On the recording mentioned above by Nightingale, Keith Murphy sings it in a different rhythm (4/4), but makes it unusual by accompanying it in a dissonant mode.
