N1  - "'Down by the greenwood side' is drawn from the traditional English Mummers' Play, into which has been interpolated variants of the traditional ballad 'The Cruel Mother'. In addition Jack Finney, a character in the Mummers' Play, has been conflated with the Green Man, a fertility figure to be seen in wood carvings in many old English churches."
