The New Christy Minstrels sang Julianne on one of their albums. I have seen a song-book for the album, but it's been years ago. The tune is similar to the one I've heard sung to Poor Wayfaring Stranger. Here are the words I remember to the chorus and last verse. (There's another verse that introduces a false lover and how he promised to make her rings of siver, but instead goes off a'courtin' another.)

Have you seen her in the moonlight
Silver rings upon her hand
Now she wears a crown of sorrow
And her name is Julianne

The cabin door was standin' open
On that wild and lonely night
And the hound-dog he lay a dyin'
In the gloomy fire-light

They found her shattered empty rifle
And the gown she used to wear
But they never found poor Julie
And they never found (they never found!) that hungry bear


I loved the album that it was on, as a kid. My brother has searched the web for a copy, but it's out of print. I would be interested if anyone has info on where to find it.

It occurs to me that you could do a parody of the above about potatoes named "julienne"
