Subject: RE: Source of melody:Lady Franklin's Lament?
There is a melody for "Lady Franklin's Lament for her Husband" in the "Oxford Book of Sea Songs" edited by Roy Palmer that is a bit different from the popular version of the ballad. I show it below in ABC notation. I can't do those fancy links for MIDI files but if you send me a Personal Message with an e-mail address I can send a MIDI file that way.
