about

Young Hunting, an old murder ballad popular throughout the UK and Appalachia, drew Nathan Bontrager’s attention because it flips the normal narrative structure for this genre of song on its head by placing the murder weapon in a woman’s hand. The unusual melody was originally transcribed by Cecil Sharp who heard it sung by an old woman in North Carolina.
