ISOPAT2   BURD ISOBEL AND SIR PATRICK B   Child #257B, Roud 107. The text is from Peter Buchan's Ancient Ballads and Songs of the North of Scotland (1828); the DT just says "from Buchan", which is potentially misleading as Buchan is also a place-name. Peter Buchan gives no tune, but Christie (Traditional Ballad Airs (vol.II, 1881) has a two-strain melody, noted from an old lady called "Jenny Meesic", who he says sang more-or-less the same words to it. Of his source, Christie notes elsewhere "[She was an old woman from] Buckie, (Enzie, Banffshire,) from whose singing [I] arranged a great number of old Airs and Ballads. She died in 1866 at the age of nearly 80 years. Her father, long resident in Buckie, where fishermen and labourers have "tee-names" had the sobriquet "Meesic" (Music) given to him in the end of the last century by the populace, thus indicating his fame as a ballad-singer."

Christie's second strains are sometimes suspect, but I give it as printed, though with the grace-notes removed for the sake of clarity. It fits a little oddly to the text, so I have set verses 5 and 6 to it so as to avoid having to break notes.

For some reason, the DT entry is titled Burd Isobel and Sir Patrick instead of Burd Isbel and Sir Patrick as given in both Buchan and Child.

QTNMOURN   THE QUEENSTOWN MOURNER  The DT file was taken from Helen Hartness Flanders and George Brown's Vermont Folk-songs and Ballads; it is a transcription of an unspecified broadside ("of early date", whatever that means) and no tune is mentioned.  Steve Roud's folksong index has no references to any printed music for this one, though he lists sound recordings of traditional versions -under a variety of titles- in the Edith Fowke collection (Canada) and the Library of Congress (made by Flanders and Lomax).  Having said all that, Flanders and Brown precede the song with another, this time from tradition, In the Township of Danville, which is evidently a shortened version of the broadside.  Short of anybody being in a position to get at the archive recordings, the tune that came with it is the closest we are likely to get for the broadside text.  Obviously, that text may never have been sung to that tune, but with that caveat I think it's worth making a midi.  So as not to create a false impression, I have posted the text that came with it in a thread of its own:

In the Township of Danville

This is the "Danville" midi that was unexplained in the file I sent you, Leo.
