That was my point, Philippa. Clifton's quoted verse is not from Child 20, the "Cruel Mother," but suggests, instead, the "Cruel Brother." I suspect someone liked MacColl's rendition of the "Cruel Mother" (Hey the rose and the linsey O) and simply applied the text of the "Cruel Brother" to that tune. It ain't the first time that's happened. |
