OK - I'm at Mom's. It's on the Paul Clayton "bloody ballads" record, not the Dean Gitter "ghost ballads" album. I always get those 2 confused. Here is what I have:Riverside Records RLP 12-615: Bloody Ballads - Classic British and American Murder Ballads sung by Paul Clayton
The Miller's Boy
The back of the record states: "This is an American version of the British broadside ballad known best as The Wexford Girl. Although very similar to other murder ballads deriving from British sources, this particular ballad strain is best identified by the lines in which the villain explains the blood on his clothes by saying he was 'bleeding at the nose.'"
Not that they say ballad STRAIN, not individual ballad, which I think is interesting.
