this is a song from a page of Child ballads.. some years ago, Peggy Seager (Pete's sister) and Ewan McCall did a LP (well that date it for sure!) of Child ballads... He sang UK versions, either english or scotish, and on the flip side, she sang US versions, either inner city, or apalaitchian... I remember knew about half of the songs Peggy sang, and 2 of Ewan's.

this is link is to a version of Acken Drum -- The use version is quite different.. and yet, it might just be enough to spark a memory.. especially if you download the midi file and hear it..
