Great choices on the music tonight . Excuse Me has been a long time favorite ! Wayne is new to me but another great song . The murder ballade is an old & respected music form . My alltime # 1 is Knoxville Girl by the Louvin Brothers . At anyrate thanks for the Fun .

"Lord Randall" is, if I remember correctly, one of the first of what we would call "ballads" from around the 14th century, it's about a guy being poisoned to get him out of the line of succession in the family.

I'm a sucker for Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger masterpiece.

In the year of '01
Now the preachin' is over

and they died with their smiles on their faces....

Literature too.  Wasn't there a story about the murder of some Scottish King?  I think it was a play written around 1605 or so.
