Derivations: I'm not sure which of these versions came first. In the Folk Revival there was a lot of borrowing of formerly English-turned American folk songs by British bands, and that may be the case with the Waterson's version of "Heavenly Aeroplane". The song is a gospel hymn, dating back to at least 1920. It was sung in Holy Roller meetings in the 1930s in Missouri and Arkansas, which the 2nd version is from--a sort of sung sermon. Stay tuned next week as we continue in this line and explore the hymn 'Mary Don't You Weep' which borrows verses, melody lines, and similar fire and brimstone sentiments from 'Heavenly Airplane'

Derivations Segment:
These two songs share a melody, though their lyrics are completely different. 'Matty Groves'is an English murder(double homocide, sometimes suicide crime of passion!) ballad which dates back to at least the 17th century and was collected by Francis James Child. Alternate Name include 'Little Musgrave' and 'Little Musgrave & Lady Barnard', and the Lord/murderer in the ballad is called various names-- Donald, Arlen, Daniel, Arnold, or Barnard. 'Shady Grove' is an 18th century American folk song which took the melody and 'Grove' name from 'Matty Groves'.
