It's Child 39 version I, not 391. Child didn't compose any of them, as per the title "The English and Scottish POPULAR Ballads", but that in no way denigrates his importance as a scholar and anthologist. It's out of respect for Child's monumental efforts in compiling these ballads, in all their known variants, together with Continental analogues, folk tale variants etc that we call them Child ballads. |
