JB3	ADD: False Knight upon the Road (Steeleye Span) (21)	RE: False Knight as sung by Steeleye Span	10 May 98
I remember hearing that the reason most versions mention how still the boy stands, is that he's standing in a magic circle and dare not leave the protection that it affords. Usually the diabolic knight is undone by the mentioning of "hell", a sort of power-in-naming that's found in some other old ballads.
