262 My Master Title 'The Girl I Left Behind' Laws P1 A&B.

I haven't done an in-depth study on this one yet, and as it's not in Hammond Gardiner I'm not likely to for a while, though it could do with one if you have the time. I have a note 'Various sequences and different stories but all related.' A not strictly adhered to rule we use is if 2 or more songs have more than 50% material in common then they will be classified as the same ballad unless one is an obvious rewrite or parody, or some other valid reason.

Funnily enough I'm just moving on to the 'Adieu Sweet Lovely Nancy' family of songs that have the same problem.

Rather than muck up Richie's thread with these other ballads it would probably be better to start a new thread(s) or revisit old threads on them if they exist.
