about

ROSIE ANN (Child 51)
I found this version of the Lucy Wan ballad in ‘Constant Lov¬ers’, a little songbook edited by Frank Purslow in the 1970s. It was sung to George Gardiner by Frank Harrington of Cadnam, Hampshire, in 1908. Apparently, he only sang the last verse and then said words to the effect “You know the brother was the fa¬ther of his sister’s child”, thus revealing the identity of the song. Frank Purslow compiled the rest of the text from broadside sources. I have moulded it a bit more, and so the song lives on.
