Child ballad #200. I've known this song for a long time in the back of my mind without really knowing it and when I started playing around with the chords, it seemed to fall into place without any trouble. The simple unresolved chord structure paired with the warmth that I find the dropped-C tuning and the slightly blue-noted melody brings a certain soft feel to the song that had a definite impact as I rewrote the final stanza, a twist that makes the story more realistic, though real it most certainly isn't!
