Border ballads are a group of songs in the long tradition of balladry collected from the Anglo-Scottish border.[1][2] Like all traditional ballads, they were traditionally sung unaccompanied. There may be a repeating motif, but there is no "chorus" as in most popular songs. The supernatural is a common theme in border ballads, as are recountings of raids and battles.
