You can play along in the same key as the video in GCEA tuning using the C version. As always, you can leave out instrumentals if you'd like. We''ll likely sing it in G on BUG night.
It is first known to have appeared on a broadside in 1656 as "The Miller and the King's Daughter." At least 21 English variants exist under several names, including "Minnorie" or "Binnorie", "The Cruel Sister", "The Wind and Rain", "Dreadful Wind and Rain", "Two Sisters", "The Bonny Swans" and the "Bonnie Bows of London". The ballad was collected by Francis J. Child (Child 10) and is also listed in the Roud Folk Song Index. (Wikipedia)
