DESCRIPTION:
Anglo-Scottish Border Ballad, which I have collated from versions of Jock o the Side and Archie o Cawfield in Francis J. Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads. Tune found in Singing Tradition of the Child Ballads by Bertrand Bronson. The Side was a neighborhood on the Liddell River in the debatable lands. Jock o the Side was one of the Armstrong family of reivers, event circa 1575.
