No. 26. Lord Lovel

I do not know of any publication in which the tune of this ballad is published. I have collected six versions, but only one complete set of words, the one given in the text (with the exception of the last two stanzas). Versions of the words are given in Child (English and Scottish Ballads); Bell’s Early Ballads (p. 134); and Kinloch’s Ancient Scottish Ballads.
