Subject: RE: Lyr Add: American Stranger
This other thread has another version, from Ord's Bothy Ballads, and from from Gavin Greig, Folk-Song of the North-East. The above looks like the one I recognize from Julie Henigan and from Waterson:Carthy (Common Tongue). (I have to admit that after hearing them both many times it's only yesterday that I said, "Oh my gosh, they're the same song!")
I'm curious about the tunes that might go with these differing versions. Anyone willing to transcribe them??
