Subject: RE: Across The Blue Mountains tune
I know the song from the Alan Burke recording, he says he learnt it from the sisters Georgia Rose & Suzannah Armstrong Park who had learnt in from their mother Jennifer Armstrong.

Alan Burke definitely uses the word 'envy', rather than 'valley'. Envy makes sense with modern usage.

Lovely song.
