The song I was thinking of was David's Lamentation, as sung by the Waterson's and written by William Billings. Of course, Billings wouldn't have pinched the tune.

Helen, congratulations and thank you! The tune for the Waterson's version of the tune is just about exactly the same as Goddesses. I think the A and B parts (one time through each) are used for the verses, and the C part is the chorus.
