Steve Gardham	Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 2 (129* d)	RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 2	02 Apr 18
Yes, the rewritten ballad is almost worthless but the information that it was printed by the Dicey-Marshall dynasty is priceless. That now makes it very likely that the TOK is the original in English and the Scottish version Child D is based upon it rather than the other way round. The other Child versions are either based on D or are concoctions of their editors. So far the earlier version hasn't come to light but it may well still do so.
