- "Henry Lee" dates to the Middle Ages and has its origins in the British Isles (as do all of the ballads collected by Francis James Child). It tells the story of a young man (a knight in some versions) who spurns a lady's affections and is murdered by her in revenge. Child #68: "Young Hunting", oldest reference: 1776 (Herd). This is #47 in the Roud Folksong Index.
