Subject: RE: Correction: Waters of Tyne
Any good folk song tends to have travelled around the country.

I'm sure that "Waters of Tyne" has to be originally from the Tyneside area, but versions didn't have to travel very far to reach Scotland from there.

There's a scottish version of "Four Drunken Maidens" on DT, but the maidens still come "from the Isle of Wight" - I find that more remarkable !
