Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Lady Margaret
One more item: Maggie Boyle/Mike Hockenhull's version sounds very much like one published by Kenneth Peacock in "Songs of the Newfoundland Outports." The mention of William sharing his grave with his mother, father and three hellhounds seems peculiar to the Newfoundland variants of this ballad. I have a recording of it made by Lisa Null in 1977 and the lyrics are essential identical to what you posted.
