Richard Mellish	Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 (114* d)	RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4	26 Jul 18
If (as generally in this series of threads) we're exploring a ballad more broadly than just the versions collected by Carpenter, then one more that deserves mention is the odd Welsh one of which two verses were included in the Caedmon Folksongs of Britain and re-issued as the Rounder CD 1161-1775-2. In one of the verses not included on the CD but quoted in translation in the booklet, the hero leaves to his sister a sewing machine - which implies a recent origin for that version. (However the quoted Welsh words "In jian i wnio" look odd to me so I have PM'd sian, west wales to enquire.)
