I heard this song 13 years ago, i was an old folk duet song. I can't recall the title , something like " mondy morning" the only thing left in my memory is part of the lyrics. I hope someone out there can help me to find this song or even tell me the singers of it. part of lyrics runs:

Man:"early one morning, one morning in spring.. gal:" i am going to be married next money morning" man:" oh 16 yrs is too young to get married...." gal" " he'll buy me gay golden ring"

that all i can remember.
