Thread Name: Origins: Banks of the Ohio
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: banks of the ohio
Hadn't spotted it before, but there are similarities between "Banks of the Ohio" and "Willow Garden", except that in the latter, the murderer really makes sure of his crime by poisoning, stabbing and drowning his victim!

"Willow Garden", in turn, relates back to the earlier "Oxford Tragedy", and so on.

Ain't folk music wonderful!
