Tune Req: Katherine of Aragon

Subject: Tune Req: Katherine of Aragon
From: GUEST,John Foxen

I recently heard Danny Spooner sing Mike Ball's setting of Katherine of Aragon. It brought back long buried memories of Alex Atterson's version which was very popular in clubs when I was in Norfolk and Suffolk in 1971-72. I've jotted down Alex's tune as best I remember it. Can any Mudcatters improve on my recollection?
