- Opens "I gave my love a cherry...". An English folk song that can be traced back to the 15th Century and which was carried by settlers to the American Appalachians. It is possibly related to Captain Wedderburn's Courtship (Child Ballad No. 46/Roud 36) and Riddles Wisely Expounded (Child Ballad No 1/Roud 161).
