Hi, "Spanish Lady," sung by Mrs. Longhill Dunbar of Crimond, Aberdeenshire also has a "tarry trousers" stanza. Longhill was born in 1855 then married John Dunbar-- her version is dated about 1908 and was collected by Greig, version A from Greig-Duncan Collection. 7 Some court maidens for their money, Bring to me their heart's delight, He that wears the tarry trousers Shines to me like diamonds bright. Anyone know Eddie Butcher's version (1966) of Tarry Trousers held at Ulster Folk & Transport Museum collection? Can't find it there? I've started writing the headnotes to "Madam" here: http://www.bluegrassmessengers.com/8-madam-i-have-come-to-court-you-.aspx Richie
