fannishlissThis is a very famous ballad from the nineteenth century, made famous by Joan Baez's performance.
" As I roved out one evening some pleasure for to find,
I saw a girl from Winchester most pleasing to my mind;
Her coal-black eyes, her cherry cheeks, like daggers pierced my breast,
They call her handsome Mary, the lily of the west. "
The link leads to a set of lyrics that seem to have been collected in Newfoundland in 1958. Azazel makes an appearance: "down by a shady grove, I saw a lord of high renown conversing with my love" !!!!
Anyone care to fic on this???? That's a Supernatural fairy tale for sure!!
