To add even another version... to the same tune, there is the song 'Julianne'. I tried to find it in the database with numerous searches, but I don't think it is there. If you want the lyrics, I can type them in later. I have a version memorized that I learned in the 60's, but I don't remember who recorded it. Could have been the New Christy Minstrels. It begins: "The other side of Sunny Mountain, that's the place it all began,
There once lived the fairest maiden, and her name was Julianne.
Have you seen her in the moonlight, silver rings upon her hands,
now she wears a crown of sorrow, and her name is Julianne."
