Here's Locks and Bolts, which is the one I was looking for. The Ritchie family's tune is remarkably lovely. Locks and Bolts traditional, Ritchie Family version I dreamed of my true love last night All in my arms I held her When I awoke it was a dream I was forced to lie without her Her yellow hair like links of gold Came rollin' down the pillow Her yellow hair like links of gold Came rollin' down my pillow I rode up to her uncle's hall Inquiring for my darlin' Her uncle said "There's no such here," Which set my heart to wonderin' I turned my horse to ride away She called down from a winder And said, "My dear I'd be with you But locks and bolts doth hinder." My passion flew, my sword I drew Into that room I ventured My passion flew, my sword I drew Into that room I entered The blood was shed on every hand I took her from among them Come now, brave boys who'll have your love You must fight till you overcome them, Her yellow hair like links of gold Comes rollin' down my pillow Her yellow hair like links of gold Comes rollin' down my pillow
