Transportation ballads are a genre of broadside ballad some of which became an important part of the folk song traditions of Britain and Ireland. They concern the transportation of convicted criminals firstly to the American colonies and then to penal colonies in Australia. Transportation ballads were published as broadsides, (song sheets sold cheaply in the streets, at markets and at fairs). Many have passed into the folk tradition and have been collected subsequently from traditional singers. Ewan McColl wrote:

Ewan McColl wrote: "The element of protest, almost entirely absent in the confession songs, is a distinct feature of the 'Transportation Ballads'. Though these songs are generally cast in the same mould as confession songs, they display fewer traits of Grubb Street construction and, on the whole, the poetry, though often crude, is not without vigour. As a body they represent the most recent and perhaps the last great impulse towards song-making on the part of the English peasantry."(Sleeve notes to "Chorus from the Gallows" with Peggy Seeger, 1963).
