about

Roud 24845. A rare example of a song in the English folk canon with just a single source: Ray Driscoll. Ray sang the song to Mike Yates in London in 1989. Ray was born in Ireland in 1922 but moved to England when he was young and was brought up in London. He learned The Wild Wild Berry from an itinerant labourer called Harry Civil while both were living and working in Shropshire. The song is a much pared-down variant of Lord Randal (Roud 10, Child 12) and manages to convey all of the essential facts and feelings of the much longer ballad in three short verses.
