I came across your message quite by chance.There are not many sources for Guernsey folksongs existing in print form, although there is the possibility that there might be one or two songs available in archives (sets of family papers, almanacs etc.) Had you looked at the late Peter Kennedy's publication "Folksongs of the Channel Islands", available by mail order from the Don Balleine bookshop in Jersey? See the Societe Jersiaise website for more details. Peter Kennedy also undertook a series of field recordings which are mostly available on CD or cassette from the Folktrax website. As for the tune, I know various specialists who might be able to throw some light on the subject, please feel free to drop me a line on roland.scales "at" talk21.com
