I did find two US versions with Distressed Maid/Lily-White Hand in them. I also found this titled --[The Wexford murder] by Bill House, 1900- (singer, male) Beaminster, Dorset, England, UK.
Item notes: Fragment, sung twice. from Mr Budlugh [?]. Roud Folk Song Index No. 1412. Laws Ballad No. P38. Performer notes: Retired hurdlemaker and thatcher.
My lover was a misfit girl, I found she used to stray With other men it is enough That she's no used to me
I took her by the lily-white hand I kissed both check and chin I took her down by the river side And there I tossed her in.
There goes my love my own true love, Floating away by the tide, Instead of her being some breathless corpse She ought to have been my bride.
The last two stanzas are wed with Wexford/Oxford Girl versions. I have found four US versions that are directly related to Berkshire and not to the Cruel Miller so I'm wondering if Cruel Miller is really a link between Berkshire and the traditional US/Canada versions.
In general the titles Wexford/Oxford are really meaningless and interchangeable. This family is complex.
If anyone has any versions to add it would be great. I know Gwilym Davies has one from West Virginia I'm missing and any Irish versions would help.
