Hi,

Here's Sharp C from EFFSA. This is really 11 stanza long (double stanzas). I'm not sure where Sharp got his "Shooting of his dear title- Anyone? Is it intended to be a play on words? dear=deer.

C.[Molly Bander] Shooting of His Dear. Sung by Mr. GEORGE W. GIBSON at Oneida, Clay Co., Ky., Aug. 21, 1917
Hexatonic. Mixolydian influence.

1. Come all you young people who handle the gun,
Be a wore of those shooting between moon and sun.
I've a story to tell you that's happened of late
Concerning Molly Bander whose beauties were great.

2 Molly Bander were a-walking and a shower came on.
She stopped under a beech-tree tho' shower to shun.
Jimmy Randal were a-hunting, he were a-hunting in the dark;
He shot his own true love, and he missed not her heart.

3 And then he run to her and he found her quite dead,
And in her own bosom finding tears he had shed.
He took his gun in his hand, to his uncle did go,
Saying: Uncle, dear uncle, I've killed Molly Ban[1];
I shot her and killed her. She was the joys of my life.
I always intended for to make her my wife.

4 Up stepped his old father with his head all so grey,
Saying: Randal, Jimmy Randal, don't run away.
Stay in your own country till your trial comes on;
You shall not be hanged; I'll spend my whole farm.

5 On the day of his trial her ghost did appear,
Saying: Randal, Jimmy Randal, Jimmy Randal, go clear.
He spied my apron pinned around me, he killed me for a swan.
He shot me and killed me: My name's Molly Ban[1].

1 Some versions start the name with an "-er" attached but shorten it at the end.
