Hi, There are 130 entries for Child 10 in the Carpenter Collection-- most of them are duplicates (over a dozen versions). Here's a fragment of Child 10 from James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/8/1/H, p. 11912. This is associated with the standard Scottish text, Child M from Aberdeenshire. "Binorie" sung by Alex Robb of New Deer, Aberdeenshire, c. 1931 There wis twa maidens lived in a ha', Binorie, Oh and Binorie, And they had ae lad 'tween them twa, And they ca'ed him hte bonny miller's laddie. Sister, Oh sister will ye tak my hand, Binorie, Oh and Binorie, and we'll go and see our father's fishing boat come to land, On the bonny mill dams o' Binorie. The eldest stood upon a steen, [Binorie, Oh and Binorie,] And the youngest came and shoved her in, [On the bonny mill dams o' Binorie.] * * * * Richie
