Hi All,

Does anyone know the original tune used in Steve Earle's Copperhead Road?

There was another thread on a similar topic that didn't quite answer this question, and I'm wondering if anyone on here would know?

I've found a version of the song (from 1968) which precedes Earl's version, but I have a feeling it's based on an even older air. Given Earle's collaboration with The Pogues, I'm wondering if the tune possibly originates in Ireland...

Any help would be much appreciated!

Very best wishes,
Stephen
