In case anyone is wondering about the true source of Streets of Laredo - "Young Trooper Cut Down In His Prime" and "Pills of White Mercury" are two different titles for the same song. (At least, I assume they are. The version of Young Trooper I've heard has a line in it about "salts of white mercury".)I thought the "rose that never will decay" in Bunch of Thyme referred to the child that the woman had.
