I appreciate your sharing those links, Jost-- thank you!
Thank you for posting this traditional ballad, Jost! It is an unfamiliar ballad to me and your posting got me in search of further information.
Thanks for your kind words Robin.
I first heard it from Joan Baez. There is also a quite nice arrangement on a record by greek singer Nana Maskouri . Reinhard Zierke wrote about the ballad on his page "Mainly norfolk" (great resource especially in getting informations about British folk songs!): https://mainlynorfolk.info/folk/songs/lilyofthewest.html
