Just for interest, re the query by Suegorgeous five years ago, there's a good reason she couldn't find a traditional rendition of 'Bushes and Briars' on Youtube. It seems to have been quite rare in tradition, with only a handful of versions on The Full English and only a couple more in Roud. All of those versions have slightly 'vanilla' major key tunes, except for one: the rather nice modal / minor tune used in 'Far from the Madding Crowd' and popular on the folk scene was collected by Vaughan Williams from a Mr. Pottipher at Ingrave, Essex. RVW noted the tune in straight 3:4 time (it gets sung much more freely these days, and is better for it IMO), and only wrote down one verse, adding the rest later from a broadside. So, yet again, a folk revival favourite turns out to be - at least to some extent - a fake! Oh dear, back to New Penguin...
