No. 56. High Germany

There are two ballads of this name. The words of one of them, that given here, may be found on a broadside by Such and in ''A Collection of Choice Garlands'', circa 1780. The second is printed on a Catnach broadside, and is entitled “The True Lovers: or the King’s command must be obeyed,” although it is popularly known as “High Germany,” For versions of both of these, see the ''Journal of the Folk-Song Society'' (volume ii, p. 25); ''Journal of the Irish Folk-Song Society'' (Part I, p. 10); and ''Folk Songs from Dorset'' (No. 6).

The words have been compiled from different versions. The tune is in the Æolian mode.
