Subject: RE: Taking on the Big Boys? - classic big long ballads
BillD - what do you call 'the more common one'? I know at least half-a-dozen tunes for this ballad, all of which I have sung at some time. The one I use most often actually belonged originally to a Canadian version called 'The Young Leboux' which I learned 50+ years ago from Paul Carter. But I use the Musgrave/Barnard names. Folk process again?
