Subject: RE: Light Dragoon - a bit missing?
Malcolm,
The only version I can find without going through the whole lot is Child's version B from Motherwell which gives this verse later down the order:

She took the bottle in her hand
The glass into the other,
She filled it up with blood red wine
Until it quite ran over.
She drank a health to her love on the stair
Saying, When shall we two marry?
Or when shall we two meet again,
On purpose for to marry?

Mike was in the shadow of Bert when it cam to rewriting songs, and why not? He or Bert could easily have taken the above and 'adapted' it.
