Same tune as Matty Groves, an English folk song which was brought over by Scots Irish and English and Welsh settlers. Not bastardized or stolen. It evolved, naturaly and legitimately along with the descendants of the settlers who brought it over. (along with many other songs of course)
This song is the only song that my baby would fall asleep to for the longest time! We stumbled upon the song by accident and have contributed literally at least 100 views since its discovery :)
I grew up deep in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee and my family performed old folk music such as this and we all disliked the more modern "bluegrass" twist that everyone does now.
This is an Irish song...listen to the lyrics. It's bad enough bluegrass is the bastard step child of Celtic music without blatant thievery... ["Shady Grove" is likely an old Irish tune, and the fact that Guard is absolutely correct in his attribution of the song to the Appalachians (North Carolina, to be specific) simply illustrates the intimate connection between the Celtic tunes of Ireland and Scotland and the real traditional folk tunes of the Eastern U.S., settled largely by the Scots-Irish. A number of folklorists I've read, in fact, explain how the African bania (banjo in English) of four strings as played by black musicians sprouted a fifth string halfway up the neck when played by those Scots-Irish Appalachian whites - it was, they suggest, an attempt to imitate the drone pipes of the Celtic bagpipe common to both Ireland and Scotland. The same explanation has been put forth for the drone strings on the mountain dulcimer.]
Paul Dirac When you switch the words from "Little Musgrave and the Lady Barnaby" to "Shady Groves", it's not an "evolution". They use the same tune so it's a bastardization.
+Lady Cham Ownership of folk music is i find rather tedious for example how many thousands of people think of 'Irish Music, as a synonym for folk music!? If i had a pound for every historically proven english tune that people describe as irish music i would be rich, however i couldn’t give a toss. It's either good music or bad music and if its played by people and handed down its open to change, that IS the Living Tradition of folk music. No one owns it so it cant be "thieved" and thank fark fer that!! To put people straight Blugrass grew out of and was Influenced by the music of Appalachia,[1] Bluegrass has mixed roots in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English[2] traditional music, and was also later influenced by the music of African-Americans[3] through incorporation of jazz elements. Notice the inclusion of other countries than Ireland....
Matty Groves is a different song, and English. However, brought to Appalachia it became root. Check out the Fairport Convention version here on UA-cam.

your raising your kid right
this song makes me want to dance with my love forever
I've only heard this song riding freight trains across the u.s., with a harpsechord and a mandolin. Then I thought of my roots and here I rest.
I agree a very nice version. thanks for posting
Gorgeous rendition! Celtic is better! That's how i FEEL about it.

+Lady Cham Bluegrass grew out of the Irish tradition...Not a bastardization, more like a natural evolution of style.
