Subject: RE: DTStudy Murder Ballads with bloody noses
I notice that the text Joe quoted earlier from an old post of Wolfgang's is not fully credited. Hangèd I shall be was noted (as stated) by E.J. Moeran, from "Shepherd" Taylor of Hickling in Norfolk, 1921. It originally appeared in The Journal of the Folk Song Society, vol.VII issue 26, 1922 (p.23). That additional information was given in the thread from which my later post Ekefield Town (etc.) copied above, was extracted; in order to make better sense, it should follow Wolfgang's rather than precede it.
