Baez mentioned something about that when she was doing old English ballads. Her version of 'Silver Dagger' veers off toward 'Fair and Tender Ladies' but Van Ronk wrote the ultimate version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmSj2jH0ZMM Judy Collins does a little smoother version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8tNlzzlV2k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEIgtamWlRk That's a little more bluegrass. I know that tune by a lot of names, 'Rose Connoly', 'Down in the Willow Gardens', 'Acres of Clams', 'Rosin the Beau' and so forth. The Irish even used it for 'The Men of the West'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tImr_0jaWXA One of my favorite lyrics from a death and destruction ballad is from 'Matty Groves' A grave, a grave," Lord Darnell cried "To put these lovers in But bury my lady at the top For she was of noble kin" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPtiQvZli4w That's one of the shorter versions and some of them don't have that verse after Darnell kills his wife but one must maintain propriety.
