Subject: RE: Child Ballads: US Versions
Child L has been interesting- Here are the three versions from Hughes and also the Barkshire Tragedy (1859):

It took some time but I found the original edition of Notes and Queries for Child L a. http://bluegrassmessengers.com/the-millers-melody--1853-child-l-a.aspx
Many of the Child ballads do not include the original sources and texts from those sources which is what I'm try to do,
