Gutcher	ADD: I Wish My Baby Was Born ('Cold Mountain') (40)	RE: Lyr Req: I Wish My Baby Was Born ('Cold Mountain')	11 Jul 13
@Ghest Cruiser 7/2/06. I have not come across ribbons five before but I do sing a Border Ballad called "Oor Young Lady" which refers to the ribbons nine and I have often wondered what the significance of the ribbons was. This ballad is about new life as opposed to death in the example given of five ribbons. The full version of the ballad can be found on the CD MT313 with the ribbons being mentioned in verses 2 and 3. [2]Her apron was o the hollands smaa rowed aroon wi rhe laces aa she was feart her babe wad faa so she"s rowed him in her apron. [3]Her apron was o the hollands fine rowed aroon wi the laces nine she was feart her babe wad tine so she"s rowed him in her apron. Hollands smaa and hollands fine refer to the fineness, and therefore the cost, of the woven fabric, the smaller the weave the more expensive.
