Thread Name: Lyr Req: Irish version of 'My Son David'
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Irish version of 'My Son David'
Philippa - Child considered them separate ballads - Lord Randall is Child #12 and Edward/My Son David is Child #13. Both involve mother/son dialogs, but the subject is different. Lord Randall was poisoned by his sweetheart and Edward/David killed his brother.
