Bok, Muir and Trickett recorded a version of this on Folk Legacy CD 1004, Vol II, The First 15 Years. Ed's notes say that it's a version of Child ballad #49 learned from Helen Schneyer. Joe Hickerson reports that some scholars haveinterpreted the ballad as describing an incestuous relationship between Susie and her brother. "Regardless, it's a chilling song of mystery, magic and love."
