Hello.

I came across a reference to pages 392 to 397 of H M Belden's "Ballads and Songs Collected by the Missouri Folklore Society recently while researching "The Unfortunate Lad/Rake".

If anybody has access to this, I would like to know more about what it says. This would include any references cited in the notes to the relevant Belden Section, and dates for any songs collected by the Society explicitly called 'The Unfortunate Rake' or having the word Rake in their titles.

Thanking you in advance
