For what it's worth, the lyrics and chords to John Riley (the way Joan Baez sang it, at least) are in the "Ballads and Old Songs" section of Rise Up Singing. I don't remember how it was titled in the book, or if it listed a Child ballad number.

PS. I find that song very moving. This is because the man I love has, as the song says, "found another love, and he and his love both [living together] be", and I aspire to be able to "wish them health and happiness where they live across the sea."

I remember someone else started a thread asking how to heal a broken heart, and somebody suggested that she should sing the songs our ancestors sang about the same struggles. This was good advice; singing John Riley has given me insight into how deep love can be, and how loving somebody is not so much about wanting them for yourselves as about desiring their well-being....

Mushy today, Marion
