GUEST,George Frampton	Origins: Murder of a butcher by a naked female (12)	Origins: Murder of a butcher by a naked female	05 Oct 12
I am trying to identify the name of a 'Northumbrain ballad' once sung by a Dover-based publican in the 1930's from the following clues: ' ... believed to be a Northumbrian song about a butcher who, on his way to market, heard a woman's cried. After a search, he found the woman, naked, bent over to tend her, whereupon she produced a knife and killed him." I take the the 'Northumbrian' reference with a pinch of proverbial salt, but it might help identification. Does any 'catter recognise this plot line and can help me?
