For this week's jukebox music theme, Hot or Cold, here is a gruesome old folk ballad, "Young Charlotte", the cautionary tale of a girl who froze to death during a sleigh ride to a New Years ball. "Oh, daughter dear," her mother says, "those blankets round you fold, For it is a dreadful night to ride and you'll catch your death of cold". "Oh nay, oh nay," young Charlotte said, and she laughed like a gypsy queen, "To ride with blankets muffled up one never would be seen"... https://youtube.com/watch?v=3Ew0krxcUig #JukeboxFridayNight #HotOrCold
