Just got back from the Ballads Club in Sheffield. There was a morris team practicing elsewhere in the building. One singer in our group got up and sang a really obscure version of 'Dives and Lazarus'. Suddenly he sat down and stopped, 'Sorry', he said, "I can't get the tune right'. It was only then we realised he'd been singing to the morris tune next door. His intended tune turned out to be THE 'Dives and Lazarus' tune. He'd unconsciously re-fitted his words to make it fit what he was hearing. Just thought I'd share this with you.
