The Maid and the Palmer
(詳細はmurder ballad Roud 2335, Child ballad 21.〔Francis James Child, ''English and Scottish Popular Ballads'' ("The Maid and the Palmer" )〕 Because of its dark and sinister lyrics (implying murder and, in some versions, incest), the song was often avoided by folk singers.
==Synopsis==
A palmer begs a cup from a maid who is washing at the well, so that he could drink from. She says she has none. He says that she would have, if her lover came. She swore she had never had a lover. He says that she has borne six babies and tells her where she buried the bodies. She begs some penance from him. He tells her that she will be transformed into a stepping-stone for seven years, a bell-clapper for seven, and spends seven years in hell.
In some variants, the children were incestously conceived.
