Steve Gardham ballad - she pushes him into the river (25) RE: ballad - she pushes him into the river 25 Feb 21


JS&BH a Music Hall rewrite by John Sinclair in the 1840s. I have the original sheet music. It's a brief song obviously based on 'Marrowbones', but without the Marrowbones and the blindness. Tied hands is the joke rather than blindness.

Motherwell's (hence Child's) title for 3 was 'The Fause Knight on the Road' and these 2 fragmentary versions were all that were known to Child though he referred to continental versions. Other versions have come to light since and usually use 'The False Knight on the Road' title though it's possible these later versions derive from Child.
