I've collected several versions of this ballad from various traditional singers in England, Scotland and North America. Not all of the singers fully understood the true nature of the story. For example, one lady in Virginia sang that Sir Hugh's ball went into 'the jury room, where no one was allowed to go', prompting her husband to say, 'What, not even the jury?' |
