I don't know about anything that old. Most of the songs seem to be from the 17th-19th cent (when the communities came over). Stuff like Barbry Allen, Mary of the Wild Moor, Over the River Charlie, In the Pines, The Cuckou, Wayfaring Stranger.... etc.
Anything is possible though.
The old ways are dying out. When I was a teenager there was an effort to teach the the old ballads, stories, and dances in the schools. The kids would rather eat pizza and play video games. |

This is now my favorite thread on the entire site.

I've got an idea...from now on whenever an ethnic person starts attending an OCA parish, we should say to them, "Now you're a redneck!!!"  |

It would totally offend the ethnics AND the southerners. But hey, what do I know, I just grew up all over the country and in all kinds of parishes, seeing all kinds of stuff happen, experiencing a lot of different flavors of Orthodoxy, from all cradle to all convert. I totally don't get it, and my viewpoint is totally worthless. No more discussion, because it has to be argument. BAH! |

Completely off topic of the subject of the compatibility of bluegrass and Orthodoxy, but....Enjoy: |

This is a pretty cool hymn. Maybe this is the one you were hearing of?? I believe a similar story to the one told in this carol is found in a text called the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew.
