Subject: RE: British supernatural folk-songs...?
Hurrah! Die Toten reiten schnell!

Erm, yes, I know that's "Deutsch" and not "English."
It's a quote from Gottfried August Buerger's "Lenore,"
which has been set to music by numerous composers.
tive about
The Suffolk Miracle?
Both Child and Roud I believe.

Maybe there are songs about that in English.

(By the way, an English translation of the above:
Hurrah! The dead ride swiftly!)
