indeed there is a tune..this is from the bottom of the listing in the database

Old English rhyme set to music by Tom Mastin. Recorded by Harry Tuft on "Across the Blue Mountains," copyright 1976 by Folk Legacy Records, FSA-63.

I know tapes, at least, of the Folk Legacy records are still available...go here to get the addresses/phone #s

sick, am I?, *grin*..you know...there are people who actually REQUEST "Mrs. Ravoon" over & over.......but thank you, that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me since I was called a 'folk facist' on the radio a few years ago..(I'm still hoping someone really KNOWS your song...I NEED it!!)
