Subject: RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 3
Thanks Mick,
Here's a single penultimate stanza with music from James Madison Carpenter Collection, JMC/1/11/15, Disc Side 015, 04:28 from Mrs Jessie Davidson of Willow Cottage, Tugnet, Speybay, Morayshire Scotland, 1931. She was born 17 September, 1863 in Dufftown as Jessie Duncan.
Fair Flooer of Northumberland- sung by Mrs Jessie Davidson, Willow Cottage, Tugnet, Speybay, Morayshire in 1931.
On this bonnie lassie her mother did smile, "O but your love it was easily won, You are nae the first that the Scotch has beguiled. Welcome back to Northumberland." * * * *
