In these ballads, dating mainly from the 1600 to 1700’s you will find the following tales:
The ghost of a dearly departed summoned from the grave gives doleful warnings.
A fair maid receives nocturnal visitations from a shape-shifting sea creature.
Plus a serial killer, murder most foul, infanticide, love, lust, betrayal and the mother-in-law from hell!
Not to mention the curious case of the Little Pig.

BETTY MARTIN traditional
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you’re mine
Look out, yonder comes Pretty Betty Martin
Pigtail swinging’ and red dress a-flyin’
First time I saw Pretty Betty Martin
Said Look out Boys, this one’s mine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Pretty Betty Martin tiptoe fine
Pretty Betty Martin, tiptoe, tiptoe
Put on a red dress and say you’re mine
