Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wandering Mary (Commons Enclosure)
None is correct- unrelated songs. Need tunes for "Woodland Mary" (used for several late 18th-early 19th c. songs); "Young Henry of the Raging Main" for the other. Will have to search old Scots tunes. I have several, and a couple are on line. May take a while to find them.
"Woodland Mary" sheet music at Boston Public Library. "The Drummer Boy at Waterloo" uses the same tune- which I think I have in a book. I'll see if I can talk someone into doing a midi.
