There’s blood in the kitchen, There’s blood in the hall, There’s blood in the parlour, Where my Lady did fall.
Pretty Betsy she rode up to the tower so high till she saw her own dear father come a-riding close by “Oh father, oh father, will ye lay no blame on me, ‘twas the false nurse and Lamkin that killed your lady.”
Well, Long Lankin has been one of my favourite songs since I first heard Steeleye Span’s version when I was 6 or so, so obviously I had to draw it for @dotzines Loop zine, which you can download for free here.
Anyway, the version of the song I actually used was False Lamkin, by Lol Lynch, which isn’t available online anywhere that I can find since I’m pretty sure the copy of his album I have is a rip of a cassette that’s a rip of a vinyl and there were never more than 50 copies of the vinyl produced anyway so just go listen to the Steeleye Span version I guess.
