Author note: The ballad in question is The Bitter Withy, which I first heard in Martin Simpson's version

They won't play with him?
Fine. He drowns the three young lords.
He's thrashed. They're still dead.

Eee, Bitter Withy fic! The ballad is so weird and inscrutable; it epitomises a particular sort of folk mood for me.

thank you! it is such a strange one, isn't it? I wasn't expecting to write about it but was glad to get the impulse.
