Phil Edwards	Penguin: Banks Of Green Willow (67* d)	RE: Penguin: Banks Of Green Willow	05 Sep 20
Most of these verses are recorded by at least two out of Sharp, Butterworth and Gardiner. Verse 4 - confirming that she did in fact steal her father's gold - is only in Butterworth, although it is in both of the Child versions. "Hold your tongue you foolish man" [sic] only gets a full verse in Child B, but there's half a verse to that effect in Child A and (more importantly for my purposes) in Butterworth. (Also, Shirley Collins sang it whsn she recorded the song recently!) The only real 'import' is "What shall I do", which is only in Child B - but Purslow used it & on this occasion I agree with him.
