Since I consider the lyrics you posted to be doggerel.. A dictionary defintion of "doggerel", Neo: Verse of a loose, irregular rhythm, or of a trivial nature. (American Heritage) Barbara Allen does not have a "loose, irregular rhythm," which is why I posted it. Nor is it "of a trivial nature," unless you consider love and death trivial. I should also mention that you will find Barbara Allen in almost every "through the centuries" poetry anthology, under the rubric "anonymous." I guess you just don't like authentic old ballads. <g> But that ain't enough to call them "doggerel," which is a specific term.
