Richie Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 (114* d) RE: Origins: James Madison Carpenter- Child Ballads 4 24 Jul 18


Hi,

Grieg-Duncan E is melody no text and F and G are single stanzas of very similar text with melody:

F. Lord Ronald- sung by Mrs. Margaret Gillespie (b. 1841), of New Deer, sister of Rev. Duncan.

"What had ye for supper, Lord Ronald, my son,
What had ye for supper, my jolly young man?"
"A plate o' black fishes, mother mak my bed soon,
For I'm weary wi huntin, an' fain wad lie doon."

G. Lord Ronald- sung by Beatrice Alexander of Uday

"What had ye for supper, Lord Donald, my son,
What had ye for supper, my jolly young man?"
"A plate o' black fishes, mother mak my bed soon,
For I'm weary weary wanderin, an' fain wad lie doon."
