I'd like to get the tune, staff notation or abc, to Jeannie Robertson's version of Little Matty Groves, Child #81. Thanks. R

It was issued on disc as Little Matty Groves and as Little Mattie Groves (so far as I know, that's what she usually called it). Jeannie had two different tunes for the song, but it wasn't part of her main repertoire.

It's notation that Roberto wants; he will already have a sound recording. I don't know of any transcription of either melody.

ok...he says "tune...or"..I'll wait and see if he asks for this ...(and I just listened to it, and she says "Matty Groves" and refers to "Lord Donald" I think this must have been named wrong.

Thank you, Bill D, but I have the recording, what I wanted is the notation to the tune. But Malcolm Douglas says there could be no transcription of it. Thanks. R
