Subject: Origins: The Wagoner's Lad?
Does anyone know the origins of this song? The recordings are mostly American (Dylan, Biez, O'Brien, The Dukhs and others I'm sure), but it has the feel of an Anglo transplant somehow. I found a web reference to it originating from a Broadside Ballad, but no info to back up the claim :-(
