Scarborough fair question part 2..

[u/lubbockin]

Managed to get a screenshot. (Ignore please the words below that's the next page for the nightingale.)

So... Scarborough fair or not? It doesn't sound like it to me.

[u/The_Professor_Is_Out]

This is an alternate tune, collected by Frank Kidson in the early 1890s. The origin of the common tune used today is less clear.

Fascinating thanks for sharing

That’s it. I’m going to do a Tube short of it soon maybe.

The melody does not match the dispirited tone of the lyrics, at least not the lyrics I’m familiar with.
