Looking for a song about Reysele



Does anyone know of a yiddish ballad about a girl called Reysele (no,
not the one that goes: "Shteyt zikh oif a gesele, shtil fartrakht a
hayzele, d'rinen oifn boydem shtibl, voynt mayn tayer Rayzele").

In this tragic ballad, she's caught in something of a love triangle, and
one of the others in the triangle (a butcher by trade) cuts all her hair
off.  In the depression of her shame, she commits suicide.

Any recollections or details appreciated.

Lionel
