    Er, the Matty Groves variations are from Child Ballads.

    The were some humorous results. Irvine got confused and used the melody of 'Fause Foodrage' with the 'Willy O'Winsbury' lyrics. Fairport Convention added to the confusion by using the melody for 'Farewell, Farewell.

    Given the 305 English and Scottish ballads one would think they're both a bunch of murderous bastards. Since the Ulster Scots settled Appalachia
    they brought their playlist with them. The banjo was added later.

    Banjo is IIRC an African invention.

    It has been improved considerably although I do sometimes tell the cat she would make an excellent mountain banjo.

    There are multiple versions of the etymology but it's generally agreed
    catgut never was made from cats.
