Richie Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 (114* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 24 Jul 18

Hi,

Greig-Duncan D, single stanza with music, was sung by Mrs. Lyall who also recorded for Carpenter. It's a middle stanza (cf. Alex Robb).

D. "Lord Ronald," sung by Mrs. A. Lyall (b. July 18, 1869) of Moss Croft, Lyne of Skene, Aberdeenshire. She got her ballads from her mother, Mrs Ella Roy, nee Florence. Ella Florence's father was a fiddler and singer.

"I doot[1] ye are poison'd, Lord Ronald, my son?
I doot ye are poison'd, my jolly young man?"
"Oh yes, I am poison'd, mother, mak my bed soon,
For I'm sick at the heart and I fain wad lie doon."
