Subject: RE: Folklore: ISO fact-based murder ballad w/a river
I sing the song as Hanged I Shall Be which is in the Digi Trad HERE. The river isn't named, but the town is identified as Ekefield, supposedly a coruption of Hocstow, but did I once hear it might be Tewkesbury?? There is a thread about this HERE.
