The Ballad of Lord John and Lord Harry by melannen
Dresden Files - Jim Butcher, English and Scottish Popular Ballads - Francis James Child
15 Sep 2011
Tags
Summary
This is some fragmentary pieces of a traditional ballad recorded a century or so ago on the fringes of the Chicagolands. It's clearly related to the myth cycle called "the Matter of Chicago", but it seems to carry the relationship in a different direction, and may be based on different source material, including bits incorporated from unrelated traditional ballads.

A willow-wand, a will-o'-wisp, our ghosts will wander all of the water,
But these hazards of love
Never more will trouble us. -
