Eastmuir King (Child and Bronson both refer to it as Eastmuir King; perhaps Hermes Nye, who is mentioned in the DT file as having recorded the song , thought King o' Luve sounded nicer) King O'Luve (Child #89 (Fause Foodrage): this is Child's example C, and came from the Harris MS, "Derived from Jannie Scott, an old Perthshire Nurse, c.1790". Child and Bronson both refer to it as Eastmuir King The tune, given in Child as well as in Bronson, is the one that Andy Irvine mistakenly used for Willy of Winsbury) |
