Steve Gardham	H M Belden. Ballads and Songs-Unfortunate Rake (47)	RE: H M Belden. Ballads and Songs-Unfortunate Rake	26 Jun 18
Karen Okay, got it from Wikipedia. I couldn't find it in the online Joyce at ITMA. So just that one verse, obviously related, but somewhat garbled, and almost a parody or answer. I'm sure I've seen other ballads with this verse which would make it a commonplace. My jewel, my joy, don't trouble me with the drum, Play the dead march as my corpse goes along And over my body throw handfuls of laurel And let them all know that I'm going to my rest. The first line is obviously responding to the usual chorus, and the last line should be the line that ends in 'done wrong'.
