The Bonny Banks of Vergie-O - Jean Hewson

Vergio is an American variant of Child Ballad #14 "Bonnie Banks O'Fordie." The song variants are also sometimes titled "Babylon" (probably due to the incest theme) or sometimes (incorrectly) as "Cruel Brother", but none can be dated earlier than 1803. Both the tune and the words we use for "Vergio" come from Bronson's The Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads, variant #4, "The Bonnie Banks of the Virgie, O." This version was originally collected in 1929. It also appears in Greenleaf and Mansfield's Ballads and Sea Songs of Newfoundland.
