Hi all - in almost all the murder ballads/songs of death where the loved one mourns their true love out of their grave for one last kiss, the dead person warns the lover not to kiss them or they will die too, the live person, that is. EXCEPT in The Suffolk Miracle where she kisses the ghost - so, will she die now? And where does that come from, the idea that once you raise them from the grave you can't kiss them anway? Also, what about Mary who said Unscrew that lid, turn back that shroud so fine, that I may kiss his cold cold lips for I'm sure he'll never kiss mine - what happens to her, are there any other versions of that song, called, I think, George Collins?
