That's a lovely video Paul. The similarity to ye olde murder ballad "Matty Groves" (made famous by Fairport Convention on Leige & Leif) is very interesting!
@mikelowe Indeed it is! That's one of those folk songs that exists in quite a few versions, I know it as Little Musgrave as well (Martin Simpson does a great version). :-)

Just another example of British folk music preserved in the hills of Appalachia.
